Of the 800 people who visited the zoo on Monday, 65 percent were children. How many children visited the zoo on Monday?

Question

children visited

Answer 1

To find the number of children who visited the zoo, you can calculate 65 percent of 800.

First, convert the percentage to a decimal: 65 percent = 65/100 = 0.65

Now multiply this decimal by the total number of visitors: Number of children = 0.65 × 800

Calculating this gives: Number of children = 520

So, 520 children visited the zoo on Monday.
