Question

At a conference of 250 people, 20% of the participants are French, 35% are Americans, 5% are Germans, and the rest are of other nationalities. How many French participants are at the conference?

Answer 1

Okay, so what you want to do is take the percent and times that by 250. but you cannot multiply percents, so you need to change the percent into a decimal. Do you know how to do that?
