Question

Whenever the test results in NY are given, a study shows that 4.6 in 5 people get at least one B. The rest of the 0.4 people get straight As. If there are 5.4 million people receiving their report card, how many get As? Bs?

Answer 1

around 432000 people have straight A's.

around 496800 people have at least one B/B's.

Explanation:

`(4.6)/(5) = (x)/(5400000)\\\\5x = 2484000\\\\(5)/(5)x = (2484000)/(5) \\x = 4968000\\\\5400000 - 4968000 = 432000\\\\`

around 432000 people have straight A's.

around 496800 people have at least one B/B's.
