Jess observed that 60% of the people at a mall on a particular day shopped for clothes. If 2500 people at the mall did not shop for clothes that day, the number of people who shopped for clothes that day was ______. (only put numeric values, no other symbols)
would this be 3,750
Disagree
(1-.60)x = 2500
Solve for x.
100% - 60% = 40% Did not shop for clothes.
0.40P = 2500.
P = 6,250 People at the mall.
6250-2500 = 3,750 People shopped for
clothes. Yes!!

No, the correct answer is 6,250.
To determine the number of people who shopped for clothes that day, we can start by finding the total number of people at the mall. We are given that 60% of the people shopped for clothes, which means the remaining 40% did not shop for clothes.
Let's assume the total number of people at the mall is represented by "x". Since 60% of them shopped for clothes, we can write this as:
60% of x = number of people who shopped for clothes
To find the number of people who did not shop for clothes, we subtract the number of people who shopped from the total:
40% of x = number of people who did not shop for clothes
We are given that 2500 people did not shop for clothes, so we can now set up an equation:
40% of x = 2500
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 100/40 to cancel out the percentage:
x = 2500 * (100/40)
x = 6250
Therefore, the total number of people at the mall that day is 6250. Since 60% of them shopped for clothes, we can multiply 6250 by 60/100 to find the number of people who shopped:
Number of people who shopped = 6250 * (60/100) = 3750
So, the correct answer is 3750.
