Step 1

Given that

[tex]75\text{\% of asteroids are carbon asteroids and that there are 375000 carbon asteriods}[/tex]

Required; To find how many are not carbon

Step 2

Use ratio to solve the problem and take x to be the total asteroids

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{75\text{\%}}{100\text{\%}}\text{=}\frac{\text{375000}^{}}{x} \\ 75x=375000\times100 \\ x=\frac{37500000}{75} \\ x=500000 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence if there are 500000 asteroids and 375000 are carbon asteroids, then the number that is not carbon is;
