Question

There are 200 people in a cinema. 25% of the people are men. 1⁄5 of the people are women. The rest of the people are children. Work out how many children are in the cinema.

Answer 1

Answer:

110

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 200 people in a cinema- This is our total amount.

25 % of the people are men.

.25 times 200= 50

There are 50 men.

1/5 (20%) of the people are women.

.2 times 200 = 40

There are 40 women.

50+40 = 90

There are 90 adults in the cinema.

If there are 200 total people in the cinema, and 90 of them are adult, then 110 of them are children.

The percentage is 55%.

The simplified fraction is 11/20.

The decimal is .55
