1940 people attended a basketball game. 679 of the people attending supported the home team, while 1261 supported the visiting team. What percentage of people attending supported the home team?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of people attending who supported the home team, we first need to find the total number of people who attended the game.

Total number of people attending = 679 (supporting the home team) + 1261 (supporting the visiting team)
Total number of people attending = 1940

Next, we can find the percentage of people supporting the home team:

Percentage of people supporting the home team = (Number of people supporting the home team / Total number of people attending) x 100
Percentage of people supporting the home team = (679 / 1940) x 100
Percentage of people supporting the home team = 0.35 x 100
Percentage of people supporting the home team = 35%

Therefore, 35% of the people attending the basketball game supported the home team.
