Question 538056: There are 750 people in a stadium 420 are women and rest are men. What percent are women and what percent are men?
I know you have to put 420 over 750 and try to get the 750 to 100 but I don't know how to do that

Pct men = total men/total people * 100
men = 750-420 = 330
Pct men = 330/750 *100 = 11/25 *100 = 0.44 * 100 = 44%
.
Pct women = 100% - 44% = 56%
.
Check the answer by checking the percentage of women.
women = 420
Pct women = 420/750 * 100 = 14/25 = 56%
Correct.

Answer: Pct women = 56%; pct men = 44%
