Question

last year, Ms Sheldon's class has 30 students. This year, the number of students in her class is 150% of the number of students she had in her class last year. How many students does she have this year?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To calculate the number of students Ms. Sheldon has this year, we need to first find 150% of the number of students she had last year.

150% of 30 students can be found by multiplying 30 by 1.5 (since 150% is the same as 1.5 times the original amount):

30 x 1.5 = 45

Therefore, Ms. Sheldon has 45 students in her class this year.
