Question

At a college, 7 out of every 10 students worked either a full-time or part-time job in addition to their studies. If 4,900 students were enrolled at the college, how many students did not have a full-time or part-time job?

Answer 1

Remark

If 7/10 do have full or part time jobs then 3/10 do not.

That comes from 1 which represents all the students subtract 7/10 to get 3/10

Solution

Those without jobs = 4900 * 3/10 = 4900 *0.3 = 1470 that do not have any kind of job.
