of 600 people at the music festival. 420 had attended fhe previous year. how many people out of 100 had attended the previous year

Answer 1

To find out how many people out of 100 had attended the previous year, you can use a proportion based on the total number of people at the festival.

You have 420 attendees from the previous year out of a total of 600 people. To convert this to a smaller scale (per 100 people), you can set up the following calculation:

\[ \frac{420 \text{ people}}{600 \text{ people}} \times 100 \]

Now, calculate it:

\[ \frac{420}{600} = 0.7 \]

Then, multiply by 100:

\[ 0.7 \times 100 = 70 \]

Thus, out of 100 people at the festival, 70 had attended the previous year.
