. At a concert, 20% of the audience members were teenagers. If the number of teenagers at the concert was 360, what was the total number of audience members?
X= correct answer
The correct answer would be 1,800 other wise known as x
If you divide 360 by 20% it will give you 1,800 audience members.
So X is equal to 1,800

1,800
0.2x = 360
x = 360/0.2
x = ?
To find the total number of audience members, we can use the information given about the percentage of teenagers and the number of teenagers at the concert.
Let's define the total number of audience members as "x".
According to the problem, 20% of the audience members were teenagers. This means that the number of teenagers is 20% of the total audience.
To find 20% of "x," we can use the following equation:
20% of x = 360
To solve for "x," we can multiply both sides of the equation by 100% (which is the same as multiplying by 1):
(20/100) * x = 360
Simplifying further:
0.2 * x = 360
We can now solve for "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.2:
x = 360 / 0.2
Performing the calculation:
x = 1,800
Therefore, the total number of audience members at the concert was 1,800.
