Answer:

a) 45 passengers disembarked at the terminal

b) 15 passengers did not embarked at the terminal

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert percent to a reduced fraction

75% to a reduced fraction:

[tex]= \frac{75}{100} = \frac{15}{20} = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

75% to a reduced fraction is 3/4

Total passengers = 60

a) 75% passengers disembarked

[tex]= \frac{3}{4} * 60\\= \frac{3 * 60}{4} \\= \frac{180}{4} \\= 45[/tex]

45 passengers disembarked

b) passengers that did not disembark = 100 - 75 = 25

25% of passengers did not disembark

[tex]= \frac{1}{4} * 60\\= \frac{1 * 60}{4} \\=\frac{60}{4} \\= 15[/tex]

15 passengers did not disembark

The diagram is attached. Blue represent the 75% while the other colour represent the 25%
