An awards banquet is attended by 120 people. Ribbons are awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each 25 catagories. No one gets more than one ribbon. What percent of people attending the banquet receives a ribbon?

25 * 3 = 75

75/120 = 0.625 = 62.5%

To find the percentage of people attending the banquet who receive a ribbon, we first need to determine the total number of ribbons awarded.

There are 25 categories, and for each category, we award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons. So, there are a total of 25 x 3 = 75 ribbons.

Since no one gets more than one ribbon, the number of people who receive a ribbon is also 75.

Now, we can calculate the percentage by dividing the number of people who receive a ribbon by the total number of attendees at the banquet, and multiplying by 100.

Percentage = (Number of people who receive a ribbon / Total number of attendees) x 100

Percentage = (75 / 120) x 100

Percentage ≈ 62.5

Therefore, approximately 62.5% of the people attending the banquet receive a ribbon.
