Church Word Problem

[GWS]

There are 500 people in the community church. NOTE: 25% of the churchgoers are choir members; the rest are non-choir members.

a) What percent of the church does not sing in the choir?

b) How many people in the church do not belong to the choir?

Hello, GWS!

Are you really having difficulty with these?

There are 500 people in the community church.
25% of the churchgoers are choir members;
the rest are non-choir members.

a) What percent of the church does not sing in the choir?

If 25% are in the choir, then the other 75% are not in the choir.

b) How many people in the church do not belong to the choir?

What is 75% of 500 ?
