Question

This school is also thinking of changing their mascot to an armadillo. To change mascot, a 55% supermajority is needed. How many of the 240 students need to vote "yes" for the mascot to change

Answer 1

132 students

Explanation:

100% means all of something, so 100% can also be written as 1.00

Since we need 55% of 240, we can multiply 240 by 0.55 and get 132.
