Answer 1

Answer:

20

Explanation:

To know how many students will be in the country spelling bee, we need to find 5% of 400.

So, we need to multiply 400 by 5 and then divide by 100:

$400\times5\text{ \%=}\frac{400\times5}{100}=\frac{2000}{100}=20$

Therefore, there will be 20 students in the country spelling bee.
