240 people are going to a charity event. 35 of the guests have ordered chicken for their meals. Of the remaining guests, 12.5% have ordered gluten-free meals. How many people haven't ordered their meals yet?

179 guests

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of guests = 240

35 ordered chicken (#1)

12.5 of the remaining ordered gluten-free meals

Required

Number of guests yet to make order.

First, the number of guests after 35 made orders needs to be calculated...

Number of guests = 240 - 35

Number of guests = 205

Hence, there are 205 guests left

From the question, 12.5% of the remaining (205) also made gluten free meals order.

Number of guests = 12.5% * 205

Number of guests = 0.125 * 205

Number of guests = 25.625

Number of guests = 26 (#2)

Hence, 26 guests made an order of gluten free meals.

Number of guests yet to make any order = Total guests - (#1) - (#2)

Number of guests = 240 - 35 - 26

Number of guests = 179

Hence, 179 guests are yet to make any order.
