Question

Please help me with this.

In Mrs. Smith's class, only 50% of the students brought a pencil, while 1 only had a pen, and the rest didn't bring anything to write with at all. If there are 32 students in the class, how many students didn't bring a pencil to write with? ​

Answer 1

15 students

Explanation:

Because you need to find out how many students didn't bring something to write with, you need to subtract the amount of students in the class by the number of students who did bring something to write with. So, 32÷2=16, and 16+1 is 17. So, 32-17=15. Therefore, the answer would be 15 students didn't bring something to write with.

Answer 2
