Question

a group of 25 sixth graders, 40% of them said they had never visited another state. How many students said they had never visited another state?

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 10 students have never visited another state
40/100 × 25 =
40 is out of 100 because percentages always is represented by 100 (cent)

cross out the zero's equally top and bottom 
so it would become: 4/100 × 25 = 4 ×25 = 100
 then add the denominator
100/10 is our final resolution 

cross out the zeros evenly and answer will give you 10.

Answer 2

25 students* (40/100)= 10 students.

10 students said they had never visited another state.
