35 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
= 3 u + 15 u
= 18 u
Total number of students
= 3 u + 2 u + 15 u + 5 u
= 25 u
Percentage of the students in the stadium who do not wear watches
=
1825 x 100%
= 72%
Answer(s): 72%
