Question

It turns out that 24 guests attended the graduation party and every guest brought a gift. The rest of the gifts were not cash. How many gifts were not cash gift?

Answer 1

Solution

Total Number of quest that attends a party is = 24

Percentage of people who gave cash gift = 5/8

Step1:

We will need to find the number of people who brought cash gift

$\frac{5}{8}\times24\text{ = }\frac{120}{8}\text{ = 15 people}$

Number of people who brought non-cash gift = 24 - 15 = 9
