Question

PLEASE HELP WITH AN EXPLANATION.

The principal took a survey of the sixth grade students and found that 111 of 210 said they wished they could wear shorts to school. There are 903 students at the school. What is a good prediction of the number of students who wish they could wear shorts?
A)277 students
B)377 students
C)747 students
D)477 students

Answer 1

111/210 = about 53%. 52.85714% of 903 is 477.3 students. of course you can't have a fraction of a student so it is 477 students
