Question

Please help!! There are 135 students in the school orchestra. About 12% of the members of the orchestra play the violin. How many students play the violin? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 16.

Explanation: Remember that you need to make 135 into 100%. 12/100 = 0.12, then you need to do 0.12*135 to get 16.2. Remove 0.2 from 16 since it's lower instead of changing it to 17. The final answer is 16.

Good Luck ✌️
