Answer 2

45 percent =.45
So 45 percent of the party were visitors. what percentage was NOT visitors???
1-.45=.55
so .55 or 55% were not visitors
so 55% of the whole party were not visitors and that equaled out to be 495 people who attended the party were not visitors
Let x represent teh amount of people at the party
.55x=495
Solve for x
