On National Day,12000 participants took part in the national day parade.55% of the participants wore red shirts and the rest wore white shirts.how many participants wore white shirts?
These problems are all about the same. With the help already given, you should be able to work the rest. Let's see whatcha got.
100% - 55% = 45% wore white shirts.
how many wore white shirts?
To find out how many participants wore white shirts, we need to calculate the remaining 45% of participants who did not wear red shirts.
Step 1: Calculate the number of participants who wore red shirts.
Given that 55% of the participants wore red shirts, we can find this by multiplying the total number of participants by the percentage:
Total participants wearing red = 55% of 12000
= (55/100) * 12000
= 6600 participants
Step 2: Calculate the number of participants who wore white shirts.
To find the remaining 45% of participants who wore white shirts, we subtract the number of participants wearing red shirts from the total number of participants:
Total participants wearing white = Total participants - Participants wearing red
= 12000 - 6600
= 5400 participants
Therefore, there were 5400 participants who wore white shirts.
