Question

Of the 420 students enrolled in basic math only 41% are first-year students. How many

are first-year students? How many are not?

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are 420 students.

41% are first year students.

41% = 41/100

420 * 41/100 = 172.4

What do you do about the 0.4? I would just round to the nearest whole number which is 172.

There are 420 - 172 = 248 who are not first year students.
