Answer:
I think musiclover10045 is correct and the answer is 3300
Step-by-step explanation:
They had divided 198/0.06 to get 3300. I agree with this equation and the end product.
If 94% haven’t arrived yet then the 198 people is 6% of the total.
To find the total people divide the number of people who have arrived by the percentage.
Total people = 198/6% = 198/0.06 = 3300
Total people = 3,300
