Question

Suppose 56% of students chose to study Spanish their senior year, and that meant that there were 98 such students. How many students chose not to take Spanish their senior year?

Answer 1

The number of students who chose not to study Spanish in their senior year is 124.

In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100. If we have to calculate percent of a number, divide the number by the whole and multiply by 100. Hence, the percentage means, a part per hundred. The word per cent means per 100. It is represented by the symbol “%”.

Given that

56% Students studied Spanish, which means 44% did not study Spanish.

In mathematics, a ratio shows how many times one number contains another.

Hence if the ratio is:

56 : 44 = 14:11

Then, the number of students who did not study Spanish is:

(14/11)×98 = 124.

Therefore the correct answer is 124.
