At a conference for 500 people, 10% of the participants are French, 35% are Americans, 20% are Germans, and are of other nationalities. How many French participants are at the conference?

Answer 1

metal and fan for answer

Answer 2

If there are 10% French, that means that \[\large \frac{1}{10}\] of everyone is French. So what we're gonna do is multiply our fraction, 1/10 by 500. So \[\large \frac{1}{10}*500\] Do you know how to do that?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

(1/10)*500=50, correct?

Answer 5

Yes, that would be it. So 50 would be your answer :)
