Question

suppose 84% of students chose to study spanish their junior year,. and that meant that there were 378 such students. How many students chose not to take spanish their junior year?

Answer 1

Let x be the total of students in their Junior Year.

So, 84% of x =378

84% = 0.84

0.84x=378 (divided by 0.84)

x= 450 students.

The ones that chose not to take spanish will be:

450-378=72

72 students chose not to take spanish in their junior year.
