Question

Forty percent of students at pine crest middle school have a school sweatshirt. There are 560 students at the school.

How many students have a school sweatshirt.

Answer 1

Answer: 224 students own a school sweatshirt.

Explanation:

40% of 560 means 60% do not have one

0.60 is 60% as a decimal

560 x 0.60 = 336 students without a sweatshirt

560 - 336 = 224
