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

Answer 1

Let's use the concept of proportion to find the total number of students attending the concert.

If 14 children represent 12.5% of the people attending the concert, then the total number of people attending the concert can be calculated as follows:

(14 children / x total people) = (12.5% / 100%)

Cross multiplying, we get:

14 * 100% = 12.5 * x
1400 = 12.5x

Dividing both sides by 12.5:

x = 1400 / 12.5
x = 112

Therefore, there are 112 people attending the concert.
