Answer 2

First, turn 70% into a decimal by dividing 70 by 100.

70% ⇒ 0.70

Multiply 120 by 0.70.

120 × 0.70 = 84

Now we know that 84 students are involved in extracurricular activities. Subtract 84 from 120 to find the amount of students who are not involved in extracurricular activities.

120 - 84 = 36

Answer:

36 seventh grade students are not involved in extracurricular activities.
