Question

There are 120 students at school today. The principal says the attendance is 80% of all students who are enrolled at the school. How many students are enrolled

Answer 1

The answer is 96. To understand this equation, you must first set up a proportion. This technique that we will be using is called bat and ball. You set it up with % to 100 then another "fraction" with part to whole. you multiply the 80 with 120 then you will divide by 100. Hope this helps.
