The table shows the number of people that went to see a movie last week. Use these statements to complete the table.
On Thursday, 60% of the moviegoers were male.
On Friday, 35% of the moviegoers were male.
On Saturday, 70% of the moviegoers were female.
On Sunday, 45% of the moviegoers were female
Day Male Female
Thurs. 345 ?
Fri. ? 390
Sat. ? 280
Sun. 330 ?
BTW sorry for bad chart
well, on Thursday, you know that
0.60x = 345
Now you can find x, the total number of moviegoers on Thursday.
Subtract 345 from that number to get the females.
Or, since you know that 60% = 345, the other 40% is 2/3 of 345 (since 40 is 2/3 of 60)
Same for the other days.

To complete the table, we need to determine the number of female moviegoers on Thursday, the number of male moviegoers on Friday, the number of male moviegoers on Saturday, and the number of female moviegoers on Sunday.
To find the missing values, we can use the given percentages along with the total number of moviegoers on each day.
1. On Thursday:
We know that 60% of the moviegoers were male. So, to find the number of male moviegoers, we need to multiply 60% by the total number of moviegoers. As we do not have the total number of moviegoers on Thursday, we cannot determine the exact number of female moviegoers. Hence, the value in the table remains '?'.
2. On Friday:
We are given that 35% of the moviegoers were male. To find the number of male moviegoers, we multiply 35% by the total number of moviegoers on Friday. Since we do not have the total number of moviegoers on Friday, we cannot determine the exact number of male moviegoers. Hence, the value remains '?' in the table. However, we are also given that there were 390 female moviegoers on Friday, so we can fill in the correct value in the table.
3. On Saturday:
We know that 70% of the moviegoers were female. To find the number of female moviegoers, we multiply 70% by the total number of moviegoers on Saturday. Since we do not have the total number of moviegoers on Saturday, we cannot determine the exact number of female moviegoers. Hence, the value remains '?' in the table. However, we are given that there were 280 female moviegoers on Saturday, so we can fill in the correct value in the table.
4. On Sunday:
We know that 45% of the moviegoers were female. To find the number of female moviegoers, we multiply 45% by the total number of moviegoers on Sunday.As we do not have the total number of moviegoers, we cannot determine the exact number of male moviegoers. Hence, the value remains '?' in the table. However, we are given that there were 330 male moviegoers on Sunday, so we can fill in the correct value in the table.
Thus, the completed table is:
Day Male Female
Thurs. 345 ?
Fri. ? 390
Sat. ? 280
Sun. 330 ?
Thurs.
0.6x = 345
x = 575 total moviegoers
575 - 345 = 230 females
Do the other three days the same way.
