Answer 1

Answer:

516 students preferred pizza

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we have to calculate 60% of the total students (860)

To get the percentage of a number we have to divide by 100 and then multiply by the number it indicates, in this case 60

860 %60 = 860 / 100 * 60

860 / 100 * 60 =

8.6 * 60 = 516

60% of 860 is 516

this means that for Friday lunches 516 students preferred pizza
