Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP: On a snowy day 85% of the students of Wilson high school were present. If 572 of the students were present, how many students were enrolled at the school?

Answer 1

Answer:

rounds to 672

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion question.

572     85

___ = ___

 x       100

Do 572 x 100 first to get 57,200.

Then divide 57,200 by 85 to get around 672 students.

However, I haven't done these kinds of questions in a long time, therefore I could be wrong.

Answer 2

You can multiply 85*572 with a calculator. The answer would be 48,620. Then you would move the decimal the end over twice, because 0.85% has two numbers in front of the decimal point. When you do that you get 486.2 kids which rounds to 486 kids.
