If there are 68 people in a survey (everyone is either an adult or kid) and 60% are kids, how many adults are there?

Answer:

27 adults (rounded)

27.2 (not rounded)

Explanation:

60% of 68 is 40.8

68 - 40.8 = 27.2

since .8 is bigger than .2 , 40.8 will be 41 and 27.2 will be 27

41 kids

27 adults

Answer:

about 27 adults

Explanation:

68 x 60% would find you kids

100% is 68, so, 100 - 60 = 40%

The remaining 40% are adults.

68 x 0.4 = 27.2

about 27.2 adults
