Question

PLS! PLSS! PLSSS! HELP ME!​

Answer 1

Alright, so first we should add up all of the teachers to get the gist of how many there are in each school.

I got 50 in both North MS and West MS.

F. Half of the teachers would be 25. music+cooking=25 teachers. Correct.

But now, we need to find percentages.

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.

30%x50= 15. Does 9+6 equal 15? Yes, F is Correct.

G. A quarter of 50 is 12.5. (There can't be decimals of teachers though.) At West MS 11 teachers enjoy reading and 14 enjoy outdoor recreation. 11 is less than 12.5 and 14 is more. Incorrect.

H. A majority means more than half in simple terms. Do more than half of the teachers at North MS enjoy rec and cooking? (6+19) It's tricky as there's 25 teachers. However, it is not greater than 25 so it is not a majority. Incorrect.

J. Less than half of 50 teachers at West MS enjoy rec and music. (14+15=29)

Incorrect.

Hope this helped! Khan Academy is a fantastic resource.
