Question

1. There were 50 pupils in 6th grade. if 28% of the pupils were absent how many pupils were present?2. Adolf got 20% of an 80 item test incorrectly. How many items did he get Correctly?

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we obtain the following expression:

Students present = Total students - (Total students * Percentage absent)

Students present = 50 - (50*28%)

Students present = 50 - (50 * 0.28)

Students present = 50 - 14

Students present = 36

Finally we obtain that there were 36 students present
