To find the percentage of people who are children, we first need to determine the combined percentage of men and women in the audience.
The percentage of women is given as 1/20 of the total number of people. This means that the total percentage of women is 100% x (1/20) = 5%.
Similarly, the percentage of men is given as 3/40 of the total number of people. This means that the total percentage of men is 100% x (3/40) = 7.5%.
To find the percentage of children, we subtract the combined percentage of men and women from 100%:
100% - (5% + 7.5%) = 100% - 12.5% = 87.5%
Therefore, 87.5% of the people at the performance are children.
