Question

There are 58 students enrolled in an art class. The day before class 10.3% of the students cancel. How many students actually attend art class.

Answer 1

52

Explanation:

We know that 10.3% is equal to 0.103. We multiply
`58\cdot0.103=5.974`.

58-5.974=52.026. You can't have 0.026 of a person, so it is just 52.

Answer 2

52

Explanation:

100% - 10.3% = 89.7%

89.7% of 58 is 52
