Question

The middle school will lose some of its funding if 50 or more students move away in any year. The principal claims he only loses about 30 students a year. Do the values in the table support his claim? Explain

# of students: 6th= 250 7th= 200 8th= 150
% moves: 6th= 2%. 7th= 4%. 8th= 8%

Answer 1

Yes the values in the table support his claim because:

2% of 250 is 5, 4% of 200 is 8, and 8% of 150 is 12

5 + 8 + 12 = 25

I think this is right??
