Question

If the total amount of people serving as of January is estimated to be 1,400,000 people, how many are in the Air Force?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 364,000 people in the Air Force.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

The N% of a number M is calculated by:

$\displaystyle \frac{N*M}{100}$

For example, 15% of 280 is

$\displaystyle \frac{15*280}{100}=42$

We know the total amount of people serving as of January is estimated to be 1,400,000 people and that 26% of them are serving in the Air Force.

Compute 26% of 1,400,000:

$\displaystyle \frac{26*1,400,000}{100}=364,000$

There are 364,000 people in the Air Force.
