Mrs.sue please help me
There are 29 women and 19 men on a bus. If 25% of the riders get off at the first stop, how many people will be left on the bus?
29+19=48
25% of 48=12
48-12= 36 your answer is 36
Thank youuuu
To solve this problem, we need to find out how many people are going to stay on the bus after 25% of the riders get off at the first stop.
First, let's calculate the total number of riders on the bus. The problem states that there are 29 women and 19 men, so the total number of riders is 29 + 19 = 48.
Next, we need to find 25% of the total number of riders. To do this, we multiply the total number of riders by 25% (or 0.25) to get the number of people getting off at the first stop.
25% of 48 = 0.25 x 48 = 12
So, 12 people will get off at the first stop.
Finally, to find out how many people will be left on the bus, we subtract the number of people getting off from the total number of riders.
Total number of riders - Number of people getting off = Number of people left on the bus
48 - 12 = 36
Therefore, there will be 36 people left on the bus after 25% of the riders get off at the first stop.
