so we know that 24% of the students buy their lunch at the cafeteria, and 190 students brownbag.
well, 100% - 24% = 76%, so the remainder of the students, the one that is not part of the 24% is 76%, and we know that's 190 of them.
since 190 is 76%, how much is the 24%?
![\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 190&76\\ x&24 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{190}{x}=\cfrac{76}{24}\implies 4560=76x \\\\\\ \cfrac{4560}{76}=x\implies 60=x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{total amount of students}}{190+60\implies 250}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccll%7D%20amount%26%5C%25%5C%5C%20%5Ccline%7B1-2%7D%20190%2676%5C%5C%20x%2624%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B190%7D%7Bx%7D%3D%5Ccfrac%7B76%7D%7B24%7D%5Cimplies%204560%3D76x%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccfrac%7B4560%7D%7B76%7D%3Dx%5Cimplies%2060%3Dx%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Btotal%20amount%20of%20students%7D%7D%7B190%2B60%5Cimplies%20250%7D)
Here you go!! Hope it helps !!
The answer is 21.9
Hope this helps good luckkk :)
Hi,
I would say that the answer is 28, but it still doesn't add up because when you multiply 12 by 28 you get $3.36 which isn't enough to meet his total, so I tried multiplying 12 by 29 and I got $3.48, which is six cents over his total. So I'm sorry if it is wrong I tried to help to my best ability.
I hope it helps, have a great day/night!!!
