Explanation

Since 43% of the people supported the visiting team, 57% supported the home team.

[tex]100\%-43\%=57\%[/tex]

Now, we can use a rule of three to find the number of people were supporters of the home team.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2800\rightarrow100\% \\ x\rightarrow57\% \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{2800*57\%}{100\%} \\ x=\frac{2800*57}{100} \\ x=\frac{159600}{100} \\ x=1596 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer

1596 people were supporters of the local team.
