2. The population of a barangay is 15 000. If 28% represents the
children, how many are not children?​


Sagot :

[tex] \large\underline \bold{{SOLUTION}}[/tex]

[tex]\textrm{Percentage = Base × Rate}[/tex]

[tex]\textrm{Percentage = 15 000 × 0.28}[/tex]

[tex]\textrm{Percentage = 4200}[/tex]

We solved that 4200 are children. Thus we will subtract it to the total of populations.

[tex]\textrm{15 000 - 4200 = not children}[/tex]

[tex]\textrm{10 800= not children}[/tex]

[tex] \large\underline{ \bold{ANSWER}}[/tex]

  • The number of not children from the population is 10 800.
