Question

There are 300 students in the grade. 95% of the students are going on the field trip. How many students are NOT going?

*Write just the number of students. Your answer should not contain spaces or letters.

Answer 1

300 students-----100%

x students------95%

x=(300*95)/100

x=285

300-285=15

15 students are not going on a trip

Answer 2

Explanation:

Total students = 300

Percentage of students going on the field trip = 95%

Now

let's find number of students going on field trip

= 95% of 300

= 0.95 * 300

= 285

Now

Number of students who are not going

= 300 - 285 = 15
