if 14 children represent 12.5% of the people attending a concert, how many people are attending the concert?

Answer 1

To find out how many people are attending the concert, we need to set up a proportion:

14 children = 12.5%
x people = 100%

Cross multiplying, we get:
14 * 100 = 12.5 * x
1400 = 12.5x
x = 1400 / 12.5
x = 112

Therefore, there are 112 people attending the concert.
