Question

Q6) There are 40 boys and 20 girls at a party.

Answer 1

Answer: 26 people

Step-by-step explanation: For the boys, there are 40 boys and only 35% of them are wearing sunglasses. To find how many boys are wearing sunglasses, you have to find 35% of 40. 0.35 • 40 is 14. So 14 boys are wearing sunglasses. Now for the girls, there are 20 girls and 60% of them are wearing sunglasses. So, you find 60% of 20. 0.6 • 20 is 12. 12 girls are wearing sunglasses. However, since we want to know how many people are wearing sunglasses altogether, we need to add up the number of boys that are wearing sunglasses to the number of girls that are wearing sunglasses. 14 boys + 12 girls = 26.

So your final answer is: 26 people are wearing sunglasses altogether.
