Question

Let’s assume the 147 freshman maintained a 65% attendance rate during the first 4 week of school. If our next 4 week goal for attendance is a 70%, how many more students would need to attend daily for the next 4 weeks.

Please Help ASAP

Answer 1

12 students

Explanation:

147 maintained 65% attendance for the 1st 4 weeks

the goal is 70% on the next 4 weeks

ratio and proportion:

147 students = x

65 70

65 (x) = 147 (70)

x = 10,290

65

x ≈ 159 students

therefore, the number of students would need to attend

daily for the next 4 weeks is

= 159 - 147

= 12 students

Answer 2

• 12 students

Explanation:

If 65% equals 147

Then to maintain 70% there is a need for 5% more

Which equals

• 5*147/65 ≈ 12 students
