Question

If 25% of the students in elementary algebra courses receive a grade of A, and there are 300 students enrolled in elementary algebra this year, how many students will receive an A.

Answer 1

Total number of students receiving A grade = 75

Explanation:

Total number of students enrolled in elementary algebra this year =300

Percentage of students receiving a grade of A = 25%

To find number of students that will receive a grade of A.

Solution:

In order to find the number of students that will receive a grade of A, we will find the percentage students receiving A grade of the total number of the student.

Number of students receiving A grade =
`25\%\ of\textrm{ Total number of students}`

⇒
`25\%\ of\ 300`

Writing 25% as fraction and multiplying.

⇒
`(25)/(100)* 300`

⇒
`(7500)/(100)`

⇒
`75`

∴ Total number of students receiving A grade = 75 (Answer)
