Mr. nelson has 20 students in her classroom. She noticed 3/10 of her students have blue eyes and 1/2 of the students have brown eyes. The rest of the student has green eyes. What percent of the student in mr. Nelsons class have green eyes?

20 students. divide by half for borwn eyes. 10 left. subtract 3 because 3/10. That leaves 7. If you do 20 times 5, you get 100. 7 times 5 equals 45.

The answer is 45%
