Question

Kenton watched 2000 adult men and women board a cruise ship. half of the adults were women. if 20$\%$ of the women and 9$\%$ of the men were wearing sunglasses, what was the total number of men and women wearing sunglasses?

Answers

  1. Total number of men and women wearing sunglasses = 290
    According to the question,
    Total number of men and women = 2000
    half of the adults were women = 1/2 × 2000
    Number of women = 1000
    Number of men = (Total adults) – (Number of women )
    Number of men = 2000 – 1000
    = 1000
    given,
    20% of women were wearing sunglasses = 20/100 × 1000
    = 200
    9% of men were wearing sunglasses = 9/100 × 1000
    = 90
    Total number of adults wearing glasses = 200 + 90
    = 290
