Answer 1

Answer: 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

At a football game, 65% of people that will attend are supporting the home team, while 35% are supporting the visiting team. 1300 people that attended supported the home team.

To get the total number of people that attended the game, we have to find the number of away supporters as well.

Let the number of people that attended the game be y.

Therefore 65% of y = 1300

65/100 × y = 1300

0.65 × y = 1300

0.65y = 1300

Divide both side by 0.65

0.65y/0.65 = 1300/0.65

y = 2000

The total number of people attending the game is 2000.
