At an event there are 500 guests, among whom 28% are adult males, 64% are adult females, and the rest are children. Find the total number of children at the event.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 40
The percentage of adult males and adult females at the event adds up to 28% + 64% = 92%. That means the remaining percentage of guests are children:
100% - 92% = 8%.
To find the total number of children at the event, we need to calculate 8% of the total number of guests:
8% of 500 = (8/100) × 500 = 40.
Therefore, the total number of children at the event is 40.
