Question

in a group of 20 children, 25% identify as girls. How many students in class do not identify as girls?

Answer 1

15 children don't identify as girls

Explanation:

x/20=25/100

cross multiply

20(25)= 500

500/100x= 5

20-5= 15

Answer 2

fifteen students would not identify as girls. multiply 20 by 0.25 and subtract the answer from 20.
