Question

Felicia wanted to find the number of boys in the school band if 30% of the 50 students are boys. Is her answer correct? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Creo que con 15

Explanation:

50 -------> 100%

X ---------> 30%

X = (50*30)/100

X= 15 boys

Answer 2

Sample:

No, Felicia’s answer is not correct. She should have divided by 2, not multiplied. 30 divided by 2 is 15. So 15 of the 50 students in the band are boys.
