Answer: d) 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, Total people attended the first showing of a play = 250
Number of adults above the age of 40= 75
Number of people between the ages 20 & 40 = 50
Number of teenagers ages 13-19 =25
Total people other than children ( age of 12 and under) = 75+50+25 =150
Then, the number of children ( age of 12 and under) = 250-150=100
Now , the percentage of the attendees were children 12 and under will be
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Number of children}}{\text{Total attendees}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{100}{250}\times100\\\\=40\%[/tex]
Hence, the correct answer is d) 40%.
The percentage of children 12 and under that attended the play is 40%
The first step is to determine the ages of children 12 and under that attended to play
The number of children 12 and under that attended the play = 250 - (75 + 50 + 25)
250 - 150 = 100
Percentage of of children 12 and under that attended the play = [tex]\frac{100}{250}[/tex] × 100 = 40%
