Answer 1

Answer:

C. 42

Out of 200 people, 30% of the guests have dressed as animals. Dressed as animal = 30% of 200 = 60 people People left = 200 - 60 = 140 40% of the remaining guests have dressed as birds. Dressed as birds = 40% of 140 = 56 People left = 140 - 56 = 84 50% of the remaining guests have dressed as clowns. Dressed as clowns = 50% of 84 = 42 The remaining guests have dressed as plants. Peoples left = 42
