Question

45% of the 647 students at Royal Oak High attended the football game. How many students did not attend?

Answer 1

First multiply
.45*647= 291.15
291.15 is the number of people that attended
subtract 291.15 from 647 and you get 355.85 wait.. but that's not possible so just round it so the answer to your question is 355 people did not attened

Answer 2

647 - 0.45(647); 0.55(647)

If 45% represents the number of students that attended, 55% represents the number that did not attend. Change decimals to per cent.

Find .45 of 647 students and subtract.

OR

Just multiply .55 times the total number of students.
