Suppose that a school of 452 students is having a debate about gun control, and the students were asked to vote. The results show that 67 percent are in favor of banning guns, and 26 percent are against banning guns. The remaining students chose not to voice their opinions. How many students didn't voice their opinions? Round your answer to the nearest whole number?

Answer: 32

Explanation:

Total number of students = 452

Students in favor of banning guns = 67%

Students against banning guns = 26%

Students who didn't voice their opinions = 100% - (67% + 26%) = 100% - 93% = 7%

The number of students who didn't voice their opinions would be:

= 7% × 452

= 0.07 × 452

= 31.64

= 32 to nearest whole number
