Question

At a basketball game, 65% were supporting the home team, while 35% were supporting the visiting team. If 882 attending the game supported the visiting team, what was the total number of people at the game

Answer 1

Answer: 2520

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Number of people supported the visiting team = 882

Let x = Total number of people at the game.

As per given,

35% of x = 882    [35% were supporting the visiting team]

$\Rightarrow\ 0.35x=882\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{882}{0.35}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 2520$

Hence, the total number of people at the game = 2520 .
