Question

For every 3 people at the concert singing along, there are 5 people not singing along. If there are 180 more people not singing along, how many total people are at the concert?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total people are at the concert

= 296

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Ratio of the number of people singing along at the concert to the number of people not singing along

= 3:5

The number of more people not singing along = 180

Therefore, the total number of people not singing along = 185 (180 +5)

Every person singing along = 185/5 * 3 = 111

Total number of people at the concert = number of people not singing along plus number of people singing along

= 185 + 111

= 296
