Question

Students were surveyed about their wither break plans.Of the people that stated they were going skiing, 25% did not actually go.How many students actually went skiing?

Answer 1

The number of students who actually went for the skiing is 0.75 times the total number of students .

Explanation:

Given as :

Students were surveyed about their wither break plans

The percentage of students who did not go for skiing = 25 %

So, The percentage of students who did not go for skiing =100 % - 25 % = 75%

Let The total number of students = x

So, The number of students actually went for the skiing = 75% of the total number of students

I.e The number of students actually went for the skiing =
`(75)/(100)`× x

Or, The number of students actually went for the skiing = 0.75× x

∴ The number of students actually went for the skiing = 0.75 x

Hence The number of students who actually went for the skiing is 0.75 times the total number of students . Answer
