Question

There are 140 students in the seventh grade, and 5% are in the Environmental Club.

How many students are in the Environmental Club?

Answer 1

7 students.

Explanation:

A trick for this is to find 10% of the students in the Environmental Club and then divide by 2.

10% of 140 is simple; just remove the 0 and you got 14.

Next, divide 14/2 to get 5%

14/2 = 7

7 students are apart of the Environmental Club
