Question

Sixty students got off a school bus. 30% of them were wearing college

sweatshirts. How many were not wearing college sweatshirts?

Answer 1

A percentage can be converted to a decimal. 30% -> 0.30.

Now multiply 60x0.30, which is 18.

So 18 were wearing sweatshirts. But that's not what we need.

Subtract 60-18, which is 42.

42 were not wearing sweatshirts.
