Step 1: Determine the fraction of people who drank mango juice.
Let the total number of people be T.
Fraction of people who drank mango juice =83.
Step 2: Determine the fraction of people remaining after those who drank mango juice.
Remainder =1−83=88−83=85 of the total people.
Step 3: Determine the fraction of people who drank pineapple juice.
Fraction of people who drank pineapple juice =41 of the remainder.
=41×85=325 of the total people.
Step 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
=85−325
To subtract these fractions, find a common denominator, which is 32.
85=8×45×4=3220
So, the fraction for orange juice =3220−325=3215 of the total people.
Step 5: Use the given number of people who drank orange juice to find the total number of people (T).
We are given that 240 people drank orange juice.
3215×T=240
To find T, multiply 240 by the reciprocal of 3215:
T=240×1532
T=(240÷15)×32
T=16×32
T=512
So, there were 512 people in total at the ceremony.
Step 6: Calculate the number of people who drank mango juice.
Number of people who drank mango juice =83 of the total people.
=83×512
=3×(512÷8)
=3×64
=192
The number of people who drank mango juice is 192.
