Question

Of the 125 guests invited to a wedding, 104 attended the wedding. What percent of the invited guests attended the wedding?

Answer 1

`color(purple)(= 83(1/5)%` or `color(green)(= 83.2 %`

Explanation:

No. of guests invited for the wedding `color(white)(aaa aaa)= 125`

No. of persons attended the wedding `color(white)(aaa aaa) = 104`

Percentage of persons attended the wedding `= (104/125) * 100%`

`=> (104 * cancel(100)^color(red)(4)) / cancel(125)^color(red)(5 ) %`

`=> (104 *4) / 5 % = 416 / 5 %color(purple)(= 83(1/5)%` or `color(green)(= 83(2/10) % = 83.2 %`

Answer 2

`83.2%`

Explanation:

To find what percent one quantity is of another, you use the method:

`"fraction" xx 100%`

`104/125 xx 100%`

`=83.2%`

Think of the fraction as

`104` out of the `125` invited guests attended,
