Question

A librarian noticed that 14% of the seventh graders checked out science fiction books and 12% checked out sports book. Out of 350 seventh graders, how many students should she expect NOT to check out science fiction and sports books?​

Answer 1

259 students

Explanation:

First, find how many will check out science fiction books

350(0.14)

= 49

Find how many will check out sports books

350(0.12)

= 42

Subtract these amounts from 350

350 - 49 - 42

= 259

So, she should expect 259 students not to check out science fiction and sports books
