This year 450 students are graduating from big lake high school . Of the graduates 68% plan to go to college next year and 14% plan to start working . The rest of the students do not know what they are going to do yet . How many students are not sure what they want they are going to do after graduating from high school

Answer 1

Total number of students graduating = 450

68% of 450 are going to college which is = $\frac{68}{100}\times450$

= 306 students are going to college

14% of 450 plan to start working = $\frac{14}{100}\times450$

= 63 students will start working

So total students who are going to college and working are =

$306+63=369$

So, the students do not know what they are going to do yet are =

$450-369=81$

Hence, 81 students do not know what they are going to do yet.
