There are 54 people at the party.
18 people are wearing red which means that 36 people are not wearing red
54 - 18 = 36
The fraction [tex]\frac{36}{54}[/tex] represents the 36 people at the party that are wearing no red. We can find what percent of the people at the party are not wearing red by turning [tex]\frac{36}{54}[/tex] into a percent.
[tex]\frac{36}{54}[/tex] can be reduced to [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 36 and 54.
2 ÷ 3 = 0.667
0.667 × 100 = 66.67%
Therefore, 66.67% of the people at the party are not wearing red
