There are 750 spectators in the stadium. 420 of these spectators are women and the rest are men. What percent of the spectators are men.
The fraction [tex]\frac{420}{750}[/tex] represents the number of women in the stadium out of all the 750 people in the stadium. We can subtract 420 from 750 and we will get a difference of 330. Now we know that there are 330 men in the stadium.
The fraction [tex]\frac{330}{750}[/tex] represents the number of men at the stadium out of everyone. To find the percent of men at the stadium, we need to turn [tex]\frac{330}{750}[/tex] into a percent. [tex]\frac{330}{750}[/tex] reduced is [tex]\frac{11}{25}[/tex] because we are dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 330 and 750 using 30.
11 ÷ 25 = 0.44
0.44 × 100 = 44%
Therefore, 44% of the spectators in the stadium are men.
