8 men are criminals among-------------100men
x--------------------------------550men
so, x are criminals in 550 men.
so, x=550 x 8/100
x = 44
the remaining are not criminals.
hence, 550-44=506 are not criminals..
hope this helps..

8 out of 100 are criminals therefore 92 out of 100 are not.
92/100*550=506 non criminals

8/100 = 8%
0.08 * 550 = 44
44 out of 550 are Criminals, 506 are not

That is a trick question. You must claim that 8 men of 'every' 100 are criminals to form a fixed proportion. The 550 additional men could all be innocent priests, right?

100-8=92
92/2=46 {for the 50}
92*5=460+46=506
506

8 in 100 = 8/100 = .08 are crims, so .92 are not crims.
550 * .92 = 506 are not crims.

44 ( 8 *5+4)
8 in 100 then add 4 to make half
44-550

506.
8 per each 100. 8 * 5.5 = 44.
550-44= 506
