Question

There are 500 people on a train. 25% of them are women and 40% are men. How many are children?

Answer 1

`175` children

Explanation:

Find the percent that represents the children first.

`100%-25%-40% = 35%`

`35%` of the `500` people on the train are children.

`35/100 xx 500 = 175` children
