Answer 2

Nadia surveyed 80 students at her school and found the following results:
=> 0.55 of the students she surveyed said their favorite class is math.
=> 15% of the students she surveyed reported that their favorite class is science.
Let's find out many more students in the survey prefer math over science?
MATH

SCIENCE
=> 80 * .15 = 12 students love science
=> 44 - 12 = 32 students

B. 32
