Answer 1

See below ↓

Explanation:

1.

• Score of the student on examination = marks scored / total marks
• Score = 235/300 [Divide throughout by 5]
• Score = 47/60 [Using long division, approximate to tenths place]
• Score = 0.783 [Multiply with 100 to convert decimals → percentage]
• Score = 78.3%

2.

• Total valid votes = 560 x (100 - 15)%
• Total valid votes = 560 x 0.85
• Total valid votes = 476
• Votes for Magie N. Hawa = 476 x 70%
• Votes for Magie N. Hawa = 333.2 ≅ 333 votes

3.

• 108 girls = (100 - 70)% of pupils
• 108 / 0.3 = number of pupils
• 360 pupils
