Question

450 students are graduating. 68% are going to college. 14% are working. How many students are unsure about what to do?

Answer 1

81 students

Step-by-step explanation

We have that 450 students are graduating.

68% (out of 100%) are going to college while 14% (out of 100%) are working.

To find the percentage of the studetns that are unsure about what to do, we have to subtract the percentages of those that know what to do from 100%.

That is:

100 - (68 + 14)

=> 100 - 82

=> 18%

Therefore, 18% of people are unsure about what to do.

Now, to find the number of students, we multiply this percent by the total number of students (450):

`\begin{gathered} (18)/(100)\cdot450 \\ =\text{ 81} \end{gathered}`

81 students are unsure about what to do.
