There are 3200 students at Lake High School and 2/5 of these students are sophomores. If 3/8 of the sophomores are opposed to the school forming a crew team and 1/8 of the remaining students (not sophomores) are also opposed to forming a crew team, how many students are in favor of this idea?

Answer:

4

Explanation:

2/5*3000 = 1200 seniors

then

3000 - 1200 = 1800 students not seniors

therefore

4/5* 1200 = 960 do not like rock climbing

and

9/10** 1800 = 1620 also do not like it:

"how many students are in favor of this idea?"

subtract the "don't likes" from 3000

3000 - (960+1620) = 420 like rock climbing:

3x-x+2=4
