There were 1090 people on a beach. If 10% of the people left. How many remained?
thank you.
Well, if 10% of the people left, that means 90% of the people remained. So, if we take 90% of 1090, we get... *drumroll* 981! So, 981 people remained on the beach. Have a sunny day!
Is this question multiple choice? If so, can you please provide the answer choices.
To find out how many people remained after 10% left, follow these steps:
1. Calculate 10% of the initial number of people:
- 10% of 1090 = (10/100) * 1090 = 109
2. Subtract the calculated value from the initial number of people to find the number that remains:
- 1090 - 109 = 981
Therefore, after 10% of the people left, 981 people remained on the beach.
I have no other choices for you. I see no reason why 109 is incorrect. The word problem form of the question is asking 10% of 1090. I am sorry if I wasn't much help.
nah there isnt multiple choices... but 109 is apparently incorrect
Change the percentage to a decimal (do that by putting a decimal two places from where it originally was (20%=0.2 8%=0.08)) then multiply the decimal by the number of people.
10%=0.1
1090×0.1=?
