In Class 87.5, comprising 18 boys and 46 girls, with a total of 64 students, 87.5% take the bus. Calculating, approximately 56 students take the bus, leaving 8 students who do not take the bus to school.
To determine the number of students who do not take the bus to school in Class 87.5, we first find the total number of students by adding the count of boys and girls. There are 18 boys and 46 girls, resulting in a total of 64 students in the class. Now, to find those not taking the bus, we subtract the number of bus-takers from the total.
Assuming all boys and girls in the class take the bus, the number of bus-takers is 64 (total students). However, we are given that only 87.5% of the class takes the bus. To find the actual number of bus-takers, we calculate 87.5% of 64, which is approximately 56 students.
Now, to find the number of students not taking the bus, we subtract the number of bus-takers from the total students: 64 (total students) - 56 (bus-takers) = 8 students.
Therefore, 8 students in Class 87.5 do not take the bus to school.
