20% of the spectators in a match are women. 10% are girls, 30% are boys and the remaining 3600 spectators are men. Find the total number of spectators at the match?

 

(20 +  10 + 30)%  =  60% are not men....so 40% are.....and there are 3600 men....so....

 

Let T be the total number of spectators

 

And we have.....

 

.40T = 3600   divide both sides by ,40

 

T = 3600/.40  = 9000  = the total number of spectators
