To find the percentage of racers who did not complete the marathon, you need to calculate the number of racers who did not complete the race (gave up or were disqualified) and divide it by the total number of racers.
The total number of racers who did not complete the race is the sum of the number of racers who gave up and the number of racers who were disqualified: 14 + 3 = 17.
The total number of racers is 250.
Now, divide the number of racers who did not complete the race by the total number of racers and multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage:
(17 / 250) * 100 = 6.8%
Therefore, approximately 6.8% of the racers did not complete the marathon.
To find the percentage of racers who did not complete the marathon, we need to first calculate the total number of racers who did not complete the race. We can add the number of racers who gave up and those who were disqualified.
Number of racers who gave up: 14
Number of racers disqualified: 3
Total number of racers who did not complete the race = 14 + 3 = 17
Now, to find the percentage, divide the total number of racers who did not complete the race by the total number of racers who started the race, and then multiply by 100.
Percentage of racers who did not complete the marathon = (17 / 250) * 100
Calculating this:
Percentage of racers who did not complete the marathon ≈ 6.8%
Therefore, approximately 6.8% of the racers did not complete the marathon.
