Answer 1

you would take the 30 multiply it by 15. then, take the product and multiply it by .85 and that is your answer. So, 382.5

Answer 2

First find the percentage of students who didn't like reading mystery stories.(100-85=15)
If 15% =30students
85%=?
85/15*30=170
Therefore 170 students liked reading mystery stories
