There are 35 competitors in a marathon. sixty percent of these finished the race in under four hrs. how many did not?

14 did not finish under 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Total number of competitors = 35

% who finish under 4 hours = 60%

Formula

Those who did not = 35 - 60%*35

Solution

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 35 * 60%

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 35*60/100 = 2100/100

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 21

Those who did not = 35 - 35*60/100

Those who did not = 35 - 21

Those who did not = 14

There is another way to do this. Realize that 40% did not finish the race in under 4 hours.

Those who did not finish in under 4 hours = 35*40/100 = 1400 / 100 = 14
