Answer

a. 397.02 b. No c. 397 adults d. 25%

Work Step by Step

a. To find this percentage of people you simply multiply 39 by 1018 ... ( 39702).. and divide that by 100. Which gives you 397.02. b. No because 397.02 is a decimal number and for this, only whole numbers will be the outcome. c. 397.02 rounded to the nearest whole number is 397. Therefore the result was 397 adults. d. To turn 255 out of 1018 into a percentage, multiply 255 by 100... ( 25500)... then divide that by 1018. Therefore it is 25%
