Question

If 35 people going to the movie bought popcorn and that was 20% of all the people at the movie how many people were at the movie

Answer 1

Answer:  

Im pretty sure it would be 700 but im most likely wrong.

Answer 2

The correct answer is 175

If 35 people is 20% of all people, we can assume that 35 is 1/5 of all the people at the movie since 20% is 1/5 of 100%


All we have to do is multiple 35 by five.



I can prove my answer by dividing 175 by 5 which would give me 20% of 175
