Question

Tina invited 60 people to her graduation party 42 of the people she invited said they would attend. What percent of the people said they would attend

Answer 1

70
percent of them

Answer 2

said that they would attend.

Answer 3

% of people who attend the party= (number of people who come to the party)/(total number of people invited) x 100

Answer 4

or it could be 42/60= percentage

Answer 5

no that would be fraction of people who attended the party

Answer 6

@haleyright can u put the values in that formula to get the answer :)

Answer 7

no if you divide 42 by 60 you get 0.7 which means 70 percent of them will come

Answer 8

no qwerty i suck at math :P sorry im already workingas it is physical science

Answer 9

yes u got 0.7 but then u don't say directly that 70% people attended the party u multiply 0.7 by 100 nd then u say that so basically 42/60 gives us the fraction of people who attended the party and multiplying it by 100 gives us the %

Answer 10

well yah

Answer 11

ok @haleyright do it like this-

If i gave u 100 chocolates nd u ate 50 then what % of chocolates did u eat? :)

Answer 12

50

Answer 13

ok nd if u ate 20 chocolates out of those 100 then what % did u eat?

Answer 14

srry but wat is your point in this

Answer 15

i'll tell but u answer first telling my point at this point of time will not make any sense :)

Answer 16

ok um, 20?

Answer 17

can u tell me how did u get that :)

Answer 18

well since u gave me 100 cookies and i ate 50 then there would be 50 left and since i had 100 cookies and i ate 20 its the same thing. will u tell me ure point now :D

Answer 19

ok tell if u had 10cookies and u ate 3 then how many cookies wuld u eat if u had 20?

Answer 20

wats the point?

Answer 21

the answer is 70%
to your question Haley

Answer 22

i dont have a question

Answer 23

qwerty?

Answer 24

alll of the cook stuff got nothing to do with your problem that you gave

Answer 25

oh it moonlight

Answer 26

sorry

Answer 27

the point is -
u called 60 people and 42 came but here the situation is not like that chocolate one so we'll make it like that
so we have-

60ppl--------->42came
1ppl---------->42/60 would come

multiply both sides by 100

100ppl-------->42/60 x 100wuld come
100ppl--------->70wuld come

so now we calculated the number of ppl who wuld come if 100ppl were invited by using ratio nd proportion things :) so now we have the same situation as we had in the chocolate case :D did u get it?

Answer 28

you dont have to multiple by 100

Answer 29

moonlight is the one who asked a question about a math problem so y am i learning right now and not her. im confused and i hate math

Answer 30

because 0.7/1 is 70%

Answer 31

Haley you have any questions

Answer 32

no

Answer 33

okay

Answer 34

@haleyright do u want a direct formula to do this kinda questions ?

Answer 35

no, i just dont want to doo math, can we just continue tlkin pleeeease qwerty :P

Answer 36

no,
its so easy to convert a decimal into a percentage

Answer 37

im not asking "u" yinkim thank you

Answer 38

lol @haleyright i thought that this is ur question XD hahahahah lol

Answer 39

Proportion: 42/60 = x/100
