Question

In a group of 20 students, half have blue eyes, 10% have brown eyes, and the rest have hazel eyes. How many students have hazel colored eyes?

Show me your work plz!

Answer 1

So you have 20 people and 10 percent have brown eyes. So if 100% is 20, to find 10 percent you divide it by 10 to get 10% is 2. You know all the rest have hazel eyes so you just do 20-2 to get 18. Therefore 18 people have hazel eyes. Hope this helps :)
