Answer :
The relevant information here is thatthe 120 guests were 60% of total guests.
we can write it like this:
120=60%x
changing the percent into fraction:
120=[tex] \frac{60}{100}x [/tex]
[tex] 120=\frac{6}{10}x [/tex]
multiplying everything by 10:
1200=6x
and dividing by 6:
200=x
so there were 200 guests in total
we can write it like this:
120=60%x
changing the percent into fraction:
120=[tex] \frac{60}{100}x [/tex]

multiplying everything by 10:
1200=6x
and dividing by 6:
200=x
so there were 200 guests in total
You will set this equation up as part over whole equals percent over 100 so you then put 120/x=60/100 now you cross multiply and get 120 times 100=60x now you have 12000=60x divide both sides by 60 to get your answer of x=200
