Question

There were 1090 people on a beach. If 10% of the people left. How many remained?

thank you.

Answer 1

Change the percentage to a decimal (do that by putting a decimal two places from where it originally was (20%=0.2 8%=0.08)) then multiply the decimal by the number of people.
10%=0.1
1090×0.1=?

Answer 2

how would i get how many is remained? because 1090×0.1=109 but thats wrong apparently..

Answer 3

Is this question multiple choice? If so, can you please provide the answer choices.

Answer 4

nah there isnt multiple choices... but 109 is apparently incorrect

Answer 5

I have no other choices for you. I see no reason why 109 is incorrect. The word problem form of the question is asking 10% of 1090. I am sorry if I wasn't much help.
