Question

a school assembly had 524 students and in attendance, and 50% of them were first graders. How many first graders were at the assembly?

Answer 1

We have the following:

To find the answer we must multiply 50% (50/100 in decimals) by the number of total students (524), therefore:

`524\cdot(50)/(100)=262`

Which means 262 students are first graders
