Question

Solve for part.
55​% of 640 guestsequals​_____ guests

Answer 1

To find out how many guests are represented by 55% of 640, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Number of guests} = \left(\frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}\right) \times \text{Total number of guests}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Number of guests} = \left(\frac{55}{100}\right) \times 640
\]

Now, calculate it step by step:

1. Convert 55% into a decimal:
\[
\frac{55}{100} = 0.55
\]

2. Multiply by 640:
\[
0.55 \times 640 = 352
\]

So, 55% of 640 guests equals **352 guests**.
