Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
There were 120 people in total.
60% were parents.
To find:
Number of parents attended.
Solution:
1. 60% of 120
It can also be written as:
[tex]\frac{60}{100}\times \frac{120}{1}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\frac{60}{100}\\\\=\frac{6}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{6\div2}{10\div2}=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
2. [tex]\bold{\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{120}{1}}[/tex]
Multiply
[tex]\frac{3\times120}{5\times1} = \frac{360}{5}[/tex]
Divide
[tex]\frac{360}{5}= 360\div5=72[/tex]
Therefore, 72 parents attended the game.
