UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

Let $$ x $$ be the original attendance. A $$ 6\% $$ drop means the attendance was reduced to $$ 94\% $$ of the original, so we have

$$
0.94x = 450.
$$

To solve for $$ x $$, divide both sides by $$ 0.94 $$:

$$
x = \frac{450}{0.94} \approx 478.72.
$$

Rounding to the nearest whole person gives

$$
x \approx 479.
$$
The original attendance was approximately 479 people.
