%

Group B 40 24

Answer 1

I just need help figuring out how to set it up to get the answer

Answer 2

so basically to find what your whole would be you can add all in group a so that would be lets say x amount of people then you find out how many people are 50 from x

Answer 3

it's 51 ppl in group A

Answer 4

yeah so then what percent is 32 of 51

Answer 5

so % 32
--- =
100 50

Answer 6

64

Answer 7

and then you can just cross multipy

Answer 8

u sure?

Answer 9

so
3200=50x
3200/50=

Answer 10

yep its called a proportion

Answer 11

cool,so my answer is 64%

Answer 12

yep and that makes sense because half of 51 is about 25.5 and so that means 32 will be more than that

Answer 13

when I look at other people's replies they say %57

Answer 14

maybe they want you to add up all 50 year olds and find the percent in thatv

Answer 15

so thats would be 56 as total and then do the same thing just with different numbers

Answer 16

% 32
---- = -----
100 56

56x=3200
3200/56= which is 57%

Answer 17

cool

Answer 18

yeah so that might be right
