Answer:

No more than 21 or at-most 21 students will graduate this year.

Explanation:

We have been given that a school principal estimates that no more than 6% of this years senior class will graduate with honors. There are 350 students.

To find the number of students that will graduate this year, we will find 6% of 350.


\text{Students that will graduate this year}=350* (6)/(100)


\text{Students that will graduate this year}=350* 0.06


\text{Students that will graduate this year}=21

Therefore, no more than 21 or at-most 21 students will graduate this year.

Given there is no more of 6% of students graduates with honors, and there is a total of 350 senior class students. All you have to do is multiply 350 to 6% or simply get 6% from 350.
To get the answer: 350 students * .06 = 21 students.
Therefore, no more than 21 students will graduate with honors in the senior class batch.
