Answer 1

Answer:

solution

4%=260

100%=?

=(100x260)/4

=6500

Answer 2

Percentage of fans in the stadium who were teenagers = 4%

Number of teenagers in the match = 260

Let the total number of people at the stadium be x.

Which means :

$=\tt 4\% \: \: of \: \: x = 260$

$=\tt \frac{4}{100} \times x = 260$

$=\tt \frac{4 \times x}{100} = 260$

$= \tt \frac{4x}{100} = 260$

$= \tt4x = 260 \times 100 \\ \tt \: \: \: = 26000$

$=\tt x = \frac{26000}{4}$

$\color{plum} =\tt x = 6500$

▪︎Therefore, number of people at the stadium = 6500
