Answer 1

20

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how many students will be in the country spelling bee, we need to find 5% of 400.

So, we need to multiply 400 by 5 and then divide by 100:

`400*5\text{ \%=}(400*5)/(100)=(2000)/(100)=20`

Therefore, there will be 20 students in the country spelling bee.
