Answer:

1.) 21

2.) 39

Explanation:

1.)

  • convert 35% into a decimal >> (.35)
  • multiply by the whole number of students. (60) * (.35) = 21
  • By doing this, you're essentially solving for 35 percent of the 60 students.

2.)

  • use the answer from the precious question to solve for the students that don't like peaches.
  • 60 - 21 = 39
