Question: A local music festival is held every year for three days. The three day attendance this year was 2700 people. The second day was rainy so only half the number of people that showed up the first day showed up the second day. The third day was the finale, so attendance was triple the original day. How many people attended the second day of the festival?
Answer: Let x represent the attendance the first day. Second day: x / 2. Third day: 3x. Total:x + (x / 2) + 3x = 2700. (9 / 2)x = 2700. 9x = 5400. x = 600. Second day:600 / 2 = 300 people. The answer is 300.
[Question]Anna is making gingerbread cookies. She gives 6 of them red hats, 9 of them blue boots, and 3 of them both red hats and blue boots. What percentage of the gingerbread men have red hats?
[Answer]The first step to find the total number of gingerbread men is to add the number with each decoration: 6 men + 9 men = 15 men. Then subtract the number of gingerbread men with both decorations to find the total number of gingerbread men: 15 men - 3 men = 12 men. Then divide the number of gingerbread men with red hats by the total number and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 6 men / 12 men * 100% = 50%. The answer is 50.
