Use reasoning to answer the following question.
Mary just held tryouts for the high school band. 80% of the 20 flutes got in, half the 30 clarinets got in, 1/3 of the 60 trumpets got in, and 1/10th of the 20 pianists got in. How many people are in the band total?

53
First find the total number of flutes who were accepted: 20 flutes *.

8 = 16 flutes.

Then find the total number of clarinets who were accepted: 30 clarinets *.

5 = 15 clarinets.

Then find the total number of trumpets who were accepted: 60 trumpets * 1 / 3 = 20 trumpets.

Then find the total number of pianists who were accepted: 20 pianists * 1 / 10 = 2 pianists.

Then add the number of each kind of instrument to find the total number of people in the band: 16 flutes + 15 clarinets + 20 trumpets + 2 pianists = 53 people.

.

Final answer: 53
