At a football stadium, 5% of the fans in attendance were teenagers. If there were 10 teenagers at the football stadium, what was the total number of people at the stadium?

200 people were at the stadium

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the total number of people at the stadium = x

At a football stadium, 5% of the fans in attendance were teenagers. If there were 10 teenagers at the football stadium

Hence:

5% of total number of people = 10 teenagers

5/100 × x = 10

5x/100 = 10

Cross Multiply

5x = 100 × 10

5x = 1000

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 1000/5

x = 200

The total number of people in the stadium is 200
