Answer 1

If there are 1500 students in your school then 960 students would enjoy watching TV

Explanation:

Step 1: We know that 64% of kids aged from 11 to 15 enjoy watching TV and there is 1500 students in your school

Step 2: We now want to find 64% of 1500, we can rewrite 64% as 0.64. We multiple 1500 by 0.64 to find out how many students enjoy watching TV

0.64 x 1500 = # of students who like watching TV

960 = # of students who like watching TV

Therefore out of 1500 students, 960 would enjoy watching TV
