During a national event, if 70% of the attendees are adults and there are 500 attendees, how many are children? (2022)
  • Step 1: Identify the total number of attendees, which is 500.
  • Step 2: Calculate the number of adults by finding 70% of 500. This is done by multiplying 0.70 by 500.
  • Step 3: Perform the multiplication: 0.70 * 500 = 350. So, there are 350 adults.
  • Step 4: To find the number of children, subtract the number of adults from the total number of attendees: 500 - 350.
  • Step 5: Perform the subtraction: 500 - 350 = 150. So, there are 150 children.
