Question

Ms. Hendricks has 40 students. They get to school in different ways.

Half of her students take the bus to school.
1/5 of her students walk to school.
The rest of her students ride to school with their parents.
What percentage of her students ride to school with their parents?

Answer 1

1/5 = 2/10

half of 10 = 5 = 5/10

5/10 + 2/10 = 7/10

10/10 - 7/10 = 3/10

3/10 = 30%

Answer 2

35% ride to school with the parents
