Question

Of 800 seventh grade students, 608 walk to school.

What percent of seventh graders do not walk to school?

Answer 1

800/608 = 100/x

x = 608 * 100 / 800

x = 76%

When 76 % of seventh-grade students walk to school, then 24% of them don't.

Answer 2

800 - 608 = 392

392/800 = 0.49

0.49 * 100 = 49%!
