A total of 84 600 people attended the state of origin match, 71% were NSW supporters, how many people in the crowd supported the opposing team queensland?
+2446 24534 attendees who supported queensland!
First of all, let's figure out the percent that were not NSW supporters. To do this, subtract 71% from 100%:
\(100\%-71\%=29\%\)
29% of people supported queensland. To find the amount of people who supported queensland, multiple the number of attendees by the percent:
\(84600*29\%\)
\(=\frac{84600}{1}*\frac{29}{100}\) Here, I converted the percent to a fraction.
\(=\frac{84600*29}{100}\)
\(=\frac{2453400}{100}=24534\) attendees who supported queensland!
