Question

Sonia estimates that about 1 out of every 10 people is left-handed at her school. I f there are 160 students in her school, what is a reasonable number of left-handed students at Sonia's school?

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

So turn it into a percent, 1/10 is .1 or 10% so .1 x 160 = 16

Or you can divide 160/10 = 16, either way, there would be 16 left-handed students out of 160.
