Question

There were 220 people who voted at the 6th grade meeting. Sixty percent of the voters are in favor of changing the school mascot. How many people are against changing the mascot? Use numbers and words to explain your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

First I had to find 60% of 220.

220 × .60 = 132.

132 people are in favor so I have to subtract that number from 220 to find how many people were against.

220-132 = 88

88 people were against changing the mascot.
