Question

There are 1560 students enrolling at Green Woods middle school. If 85% of the students ride the bus, how many do not ride the bus

Answer 1

234 students

Explanation:

% Don't ride the bus = 100% - % Ride the bus

• % = 100% - 85%
• % = 15%

Number of students who don't ride the bus :

• 1560 x 15%
• 1560 x 3/20
• 78 x 3
• 234 students

Answer 2

1560*0.85 = 1326

1326 people on bus

1560 - 1326 = 234

234 people did not ride the bus.
