Step-by-step solution

  1. Determine the fraction of people who drank mango juice.

    Let the total number of people be TT.
    Fraction of people who drank mango juice =38= \frac{3}{8}.

  2. Determine the fraction of people remaining after those who drank mango juice.

    Remainder =1−38=88−38=58= 1 - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8} of the total people.

  3. Determine the fraction of people who drank pineapple juice.

    Fraction of people who drank pineapple juice =14= \frac{1}{4} of the remainder. =14×58=532= \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{5}{8} = \frac{5}{32} of the total people.

  4. Determine the fraction of people who drank orange juice.

    The rest drank orange juice.
    Fraction of people who drank orange juice =Remainder−Fraction for pineapple juice= \text{Remainder} - \text{Fraction for pineapple juice}

    =58−532= \frac{5}{8} - \frac{5}{32}

    To subtract these fractions, find a common denominator, which is 32.

    58=5×48×4=2032\frac{5}{8} = \frac{5 \times 4}{8 \times 4} = \frac{20}{32}

    So, the fraction for orange juice =2032−532=1532= \frac{20}{32} - \frac{5}{32} = \frac{15}{32} of the total people.

  5. Use the given number of people who drank orange juice to find the total number of people (TT).

    We are given that 240 people drank orange juice.

    1532×T=240\frac{15}{32} \times T = 240

    To find TT, multiply 240 by the reciprocal of 1532\frac{15}{32}:

    T=240×3215T = 240 \times \frac{32}{15} T=(240÷15)×32T = (240 \div 15) \times 32 T=16×32T = 16 \times 32 T=512T = 512

    So, there were 512 people in total at the ceremony.

  6. Calculate the number of people who drank mango juice.

    Number of people who drank mango juice =38= \frac{3}{8} of the total people.

    =38×512= \frac{3}{8} \times 512 =3×(512÷8)= 3 \times (512 \div 8) =3×64= 3 \times 64 =192= 192

    The number of people who drank mango juice is 192.
