Question

Jodie's college class has 50 students, 40 of the students are men. What percent of the class is men?

Answer 1

Answer:

I beleive the answer is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 50 students. 50 is the half of 100 because 50x2=100

40% is equal to 40/100

So, 40/100 is equal to 20/50 because 100/2=50 and 40/2=20

20/50 (which is equal to 40/100 or 40%) says that 20 men

And if we do the subtraction, it’s 50–20=30are in the class
