Question

35% of the students in a school of 2060 are freshmen. How many students in the school are freshmen

Answer 1

There are 721 freshman.
Make 35% a decimal, multiply by 2060
.35*2060=721

Answer 2

Answer: If the total number of students is 2060, then the 100% is 2060 students.

And we know that 35% of the students are freshmen, and we want to know the exact number of freshmen students.

you can calculate this as: if 2060 is the 100% then X is the 35%, using the rule of 3:

X = (35%/100%) * 2060 = 0.35*2060 = 721

so you have 721 freshmen students.
