Hint #11 / 4

The number lines show that the ratio of $\maroonD{\text{people}}$start color #ca337c, start text, p, e, o, p, l, e, end text, end color #ca337c to $\blueE{\text{percentage}}$start color #0c7f99, start text, p, e, r, c, e, n, t, a, g, e, end text, end color #0c7f99 is $\maroonD{270}:\blueE{125\%}$start color #ca337c, 270, end color #ca337c, colon, start color #0c7f99, 125, percent, end color #0c7f99.

We are looking for ratios that are equivalent to $\maroonD{270}:\blueE{125\%}$start color #ca337c, 270, end color #ca337c, colon, start color #0c7f99, 125, percent, end color #0c7f99.

Hint #22 / 4

We can find the number of people for $\blueE{25\%}$start color #0c7f99, 25, percent, end color #0c7f99 by dividing both parts of the ratio by $\purpleE{5}$start color #543b78, 5, end color #543b78.

$0$$270$$270$$54$${}\div5$People$0\%$$125\%$$125\%$$25\%$Percentage

A double number line with 3 unequally spaced tick marks. The line labeled People, reads from left to right: 0, 54, 270. The line labeled Percentage, reads from left to right: 0 percent, 25 percent, 125 percent. An arrow from the pair 270 to 125 percent to the pair 54 to 25 percent is labeled divided by 5.

So $\blueE{25\%}$start color #0c7f99, 25, percent, end color #0c7f99 of last year's attendance is $\maroonD{54}$start color #ca337c, 54, end color #ca337c people.

Hint #33 / 4

Now we can find the number of people for $\blueE{100\%}$start color #0c7f99, 100, percent, end color #0c7f99 by multiplying both parts of the new ratio by $\purpleE{4}$start color #543b78, 4, end color #543b78.

$0$$270$$270$$54$$216$${}\times4$People$0\%$$125\%$$125\%$$25\%$$100\%$Percentage

A double number line with 4 unequally spaced tick marks. The line labeled People, reads from left to right: 0, 54, 216, 270. The line labeled Percentage, reads from left to right: 0 percent, 25 percent, 100 percent, 125 percent. An arrow from the pair 54 to 25 percent to the pair 216 to 100 percent is labeled times 4.

So $\blueE{100\%}$start color #0c7f99, 100, percent, end color #0c7f99 of last year's attendance is $\maroonD{216}$start color #ca337c, 216, end color #ca337c people. That means $\maroonD{216}$start color #ca337c, 216, end color #ca337c people attended the auction last year.
