Question

Of 5,721 people attending an outdoor concert in Los Angeles, 5,003 are over 18 years of age. What percent is this? (Round to the nearest whole-number percent.)

Answer 1

To calculate percentages, take the amount that fits your criteria, divide by the whole thing, then multiply by 100%. In this case, we would take 5,003 people over the age of 18, divide by the whole crowd of 5,721 people, then multiply by 100%:

5003/5721 * 100% = 87.45%, then round to the nearest whole-number: 87%.

I hope this helped!
