At a basketball game, 54% of people attending were supporting the home team, while 46% were supporting the visiting team. If 1566 people attending the game supported the home team, what was the total number of people attending the game?

Answer 1

Let the total number of people attending the game be represented by x.

According to the given information, 54% of x were supporting the home team, which is 0.54x. This number is also given as 1566.

So we have: 0.54x = 1566

To find x, we divide both sides by 0.54:

x = 1566 / 0.54
x = 2900

Therefore, the total number of people attending the game was 2900.
