a group of dancers are auditioningfor a dance show and 62%did not get in. how many dancers got in

Question

i am a 12 year old who needs help in math and reading I just cant do it

Answer 1

We don't have a number of dancers, so the best we can do is find the percentage.

100% would be the total number of dancers (100% being everybody).

If 62% didn't get in, and we want to know how many did, we need to remove them from the whole, that is, subtract:

100% - 62%

Solve that, and you will have the percentage that got in.

Answer 2

62% did not get in so 100% - 62% did not get in.

Can you subtract and answer?
