Question

In Gloria class about 25% of the students wore sweatshirts to school one day. If there are 29 students in her class about how many students did not wear sweatshirts to school that day?

Answer 1

25% wore sweatshirts

25% of 29

0.25 x 29 = 7.25 (assumed 7, since people cannot be halved)

Number of students not wearing sweatshirt = 29 - 7 = 22

22 students did not wear sweatshirts to school that day.
