Question

Thirty-five percent of a University's 4000 students have a scholarship. How many students have a scholarship? O 800 O 1200 O 1400 O 1800

Answer 1

Number of students: 4000

Scholarship: 35 %

to calculate the number of students that have a scholarship multiply the total number of students (4000) by the percentage that has a scholarship in decimal form ( divided by 100)

4000 x (35/100 ) = 4000x 0.35 = 1,400

1,400 students have a scholarship.
