Answer 1

It can be seen that 51 more students went to Camp Kern than to Camp Redwood.

How to solve

Out of the 170 students who said they would go to Camp Redwood, 20% did not go, which means 170 x 0.2 = 34 students did not go.

The number of students who went to Camp Redwood is 170 - 34 = 136.

Out of the 220 students who said they would go to Camp Kern, 15% did not go, which means 220 x 0.15 = 33 students did not go.

The number of students who went to Camp Kern is 220 - 33 = 187.

Therefore, 187 - 136 = 51 more students went to Camp Kern than Camp Redwood.
