Verena · Answer 1

2/7 purchased 1000 ... therefore, 5/7 purchases 500 ... and 5/7 is 15000 people.

so 5/7 of what = 15000

5/7x = 15000

x = 15000 * 7/5

x = 105000/5

x = 21000 people viewed the concert

Jaylah Pitts · Answer 2

[tex]15000 = / frac{5}{7}*x[/tex]

[tex]x=15000 * / frac{7}{5}=21,000[/tex]

Check 21,000 * 2/7 = 6.000 and 6,000 + 15,000 = 21,000
