A football match between United and City is watched by 24 000 spectators.

Of the 24 000 spectators, 14 112 support United and 8208 support City.
The rest of the spectators are neutrals who support neither team.
a.Work out the percentage of the 24 000 spectators who support United.

b.Work out the percentage of the 24 000 spectators who are neutrals.

14,112 / 24,000 = 0.588 = 58.8%

I'll be glad to check your answer for b.

i don't have the answer for b

b. How many are neutral? Divide that number by 24,000

thanks

You're welcome.

To solve this problem, we will use the formula for calculating percentages:

Percentage = (Part / Whole) * 100

a. To work out the percentage of the 24,000 spectators who support United, we need to divide the number of spectators who support United (14,112) by the total number of spectators (24,000) and then multiply the result by 100.

Percentage of spectators who support United = (14,112 / 24,000) * 100

b. To work out the percentage of the 24,000 spectators who are neutrals, we need to calculate the number of neutrals first. To do this, we subtract the number of spectators who support United (14,112) and the number of spectators who support City (8,208) from the total number of spectators (24,000). Then, we divide the number of neutrals by the total number of spectators and multiply the result by 100.

Number of neutrals = Total spectators - (Supporters of United + Supporters of City)
Number of neutrals = 24000 - (14112 + 8208)

Once we have the number of neutrals, we calculate the percentage as follows:

Percentage of neutrals = (Number of neutrals / Total spectators) * 100
