During a global conference, 40% of the attendees were women. If there were 500 attendees, how many were men? (2023)
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Find out how many attendees were women by calculating 40% of 500.
Step 2: To calculate 40% of 500, multiply 500 by 0.40 (which is the decimal form of 40%).
Step 3: The result from Step 2 gives you the number of women. In this case, it is 200.
Step 4: To find the number of men, subtract the number of women (200) from the total number of attendees (500).
Step 5: The result from Step 4 gives you the number of men. In this case, it is 300.
