Question

According to one survey, 25% of high school

students reported that they would not get summer

jobs. Predict how many of the 948 students at

Mohawk High School will not get summer jobs.

Answer 1

237

Explanation:

25/100 = x/948, simplify to get 1/4 = x/948

cross multiply and get 948=4x

swap the sides and get 4x=948

divide both sides by 4 and get x=237

in conclusion 237 students won't get summer jobs.
