Answer:

A class of 60 children

3/10 were absent

So we’re trying to find how many pupils are here (kids).

So lets use percentage.

Percentage means out of a hundred so 3/10 is 30/100.
Multiply 10 on each numerator/denominator and you’ll get 30/100.

Now 30/100 is 30 percent.

We are to find 30 percent of 60.

18 pupils are absent.

We’re trying to find who’s here so

60 - 18 = 42

42 pupils are present
