nearby city would not)prefer apples?
​

Answer 1

672 students would not prefer apples.

Answer 2

672 students

Explanation:

To find the answer you would first need to find how many people out of the 75 middle school students didn't prefer apples. Since 67 out of 75 students liked apples we can only assume the other 8 students didn't prefer apples. We will then divide 8 by 75 to get the percentage. This will give us the percentage .106. Next multiply 6,300 by .106 and we get 672.
