Question

Me. Ellis is a teacher who tutors after school. Of the students he tutors, 30% need help in computer science and 70% need assistance in math. Of the students who need help, 40% are enrolled in Mr. Ellis's class during the school day. Of the students that need help in math, 25% are enrolled in his class during the day. What percent of the after school students are enrolled in Mr. Ellis's classes?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 82.5% after school students who are enrolled in his classes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of students be 100

Percentage of students who need help in computer science = 30%

So, number of students who need help in computer science = 30

Percentage of students who need help in maths = 70%

So, number of students who need assistance in maths  = 70

Of the students who need help,

40% are enrolled in Mr. Ellis's class during the school day,

So, it means 60% are enrolled in his class after the school day.

Number of students who are enrolled in his class after the school day = 60

Number of students who need help in Maths is given by

$\frac{70}{100}\times 60=42$

Of the students that need help in maths, percent of students are enrolled in his class during the day = 25%

So, number of students who need help in maths and enrolled in his class after school hours

$\frac{75}{100}\times 42=31.5$

Number of students who need help in computer science and enrolled in his class after school hours

$\frac{30}{100}\times 60=18$

Therefore, there are $31.5+18=49.5$ students who joined his class after school hours,

Percentage of the after students who are enrolled in Mr. Ellis's classes is given by

$\frac{49.5}{60}\times 100=82.5\%$

Hence, there are 82.5% after school students who are enrolled in his classes.
