68%(plan to go to college) + 14%(plan to start working) = 82%
100% - 82% = 18% (<span>students don't know what they're going to do )
</span>
450 x 0.18 = 81

answer: 81 students <span>are not sure what they are going to do after graduating from high school</span>

81 Students aren't sure what they are going to be doing.

First, find the number of students for each category by multiplying the percentage:

450 x .68 = 306 (306 students want to go to college)
450 x .14 = 63 (63 students are going to begin working)

Add 306 + 63 students to get 369 total students who know what they want to do.
Subtract this number from 450 students total (450-369) to get 81 students who are unsure of what they will do after graduating.
