At the museum of Transportation, it was estimated 42 percent of all visitors are from in state. On Saturday, 6,000 people attended the museum. What is the number of out of state people in attendance?

Solution

42 percent of all visitors are from in state

we know total percent is 100

so that means visitors from out of state= 100-42=58 %

total 6000 people attened the museum

so number of out of state people in attendance=58 % of 6000=0.58*6000=3480
