To find 30% of 470 students we want to do 470*0.30. The 0.30 is the decimal format of 30% because you move the decimal twice to the left. And the asterisk (*) represents multiplication.

When you do 470*0.30 you get 141 students

Hope this helps.

30%*470=141 (So the number of students in 8 grade is 141)
