Question

A School reported that 85% of the total number of learners joined the educational trip. If there were 680 pupils enrolled in the school, how many joined the field trip ?

Answer 1

To find out how many pupils joined the educational trip, 85% of 680, which is the total number of enrolled pupils, is calculated, resulting in 578 pupils who joined the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of students who joined the educational trip, we need to apply the percentage to the total number of pupils. Since 85% of the learners joined the trip and there are 680 pupils enrolled, we multiply 680 by 85% (or 0.85).

The calculation would be as follows:

680 pupils × 0.85 = 578 pupils

Thus, 578 pupils from the school joined the educational trip.
