on autopia, anyone can ride but younger kids need to ride with an adult. if there are 160 that want to ride and 400 people in line, what percent of the people in line are kids?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of kids in line, we first need to find out how many of the 160 people who want to ride are kids.

Let's assume that the number of kids who want to ride is represented by "x". Since younger kids need to ride with an adult, the number of adults who want to ride would be 160 - x.

Now since there are 400 people in line, we can add the number of kids and adults who want to ride to find the total number of people in line:

x + (160 - x) = 400
160 = 400
x = 400 - 160
x = 240

So there are 240 kids in line.

To find the percentage of kids in line, we divide the number of kids by the total number of people in line and multiply by 100:

(240 / 400) * 100 = 0.6 * 100 = 60%

Therefore, 60% of the people in line are kids.

Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation.

Since younger kids need to ride with an adult, if there are 160 people who want to ride, there must be 160 adults accompanying them.

Given that there are 400 people in line, we can calculate the number of kids in line by subtracting the number of adults from the total number of people:

400 - 160 = 240

There are 240 kids in line.

To find the percentage of kids in line, divide the number of kids by the total number of people in line and multiply by 100:

(240 / 400) * 100 = 0.6 * 100 = 60%

Thus, 60% of the people in line are kids.
