45 The number of girls is the repeated identity. Make the number of girls the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
Number of students who do not wear watches
= 4 u + 25 u
= 29 u
Total number of students
= 4 u + 1 u + 25 u + 20 u
= 50 u
Percentage of the students in the stadium who do not wear watches
=
2950 x 100%
= 58%
Answer(s): 58%
