Question

6th grade math help me, please :)

Answer 1

B. 168 students

Explanation:

Given that there are a total of 600 students.

28% of the students pack their lunch.

To find:

Total number of students who pack their lunch = ?

Solution:

Percentage of a given number is calculated using the following method.

`y\%` of a number
`x` is given by:

`x * (y)/(100)`

i.e. multiply the number by percentage to be found and divide by 100.

So, we have to find 28% of 600 here, to find the answer to the question.

`\therefore` Number of students who pack their lunch is given as: (Multiply the given number 600 with 28 and divide by 100.)

`600 * (28)/(100)\\\Rightarrow 6 * 28\\\Rightarrow \bold{168}`

So, the correct answer is:

B. 168
