For this problem, we're told that for a basketball game, 55 % of the people attending were there to support the home team.
00:09
And that means that the other 45 % were there to support the away or visiting team.
00:16
And the question that we want to know is if there was 520 total people, how many people were in support of the home team? so the way we can figure this out is by multiplying 520 by the decimal representation.
00:40
This problem tells us that at a basketball game, we have 55 % of the people that are there are in support of the home team, and that means that 45 % of the people that attended are supporting the visitors or the visiting team.
00:56
This problem tells us that at a basketball game, there's 55 % of the crowd or the people that are attending that are in support of the home team, and there's 45 % that are there for the visiting or the away team.
01:09
And we're told that 520 people total attended the game.
01:14
And if we want to figure out the number of people that are attending the game that we're in support of the home team, we're going to look at the home team percentage and take that to decimal form.
01:27
So 0 .55 after moving the decimal place over twice and multiply that by 520.
01:32
And whatever our result is, that's how many people were at this basketball game in support of the home team.
01:37
So 55 % of 520 or 0 .55.
01:40
Times 520 would tell us that there's 286 people that are there to support the home team...
