Answer 1

Answer:

• 12 students  

Step-by-step explanation:

If 65% equals 147

Then to maintain 70% there is a need for 5% more

Which equals

• 5*147/65 ≈ 12 students

Answer 2

Answer:

12 students

Step-by-step explanation:

147 maintained 65% attendance for the 1st 4 weeks

the goal is 70% on the next 4 weeks

ratio and proportion:

147 students =         x        

       65                     70      

65 (x) = 147 (70)

x = 10,290  

         65

x ≈ 159 students

therefore, the number of students would need to attend

                 daily for the next 4 weeks is

                 = 159 - 147

                 = 12 students
