Question

Mrs. Hernandez told her class that 95% of the students in the class passed the math test. If there are 20 students in the class, how many students passed the math test?

Answer 1

19 Students


basically I learned this trick at school, you take the percent, in this case it’s 95/100 and then you write it next to the fraction of what your unit is, so x/20 students


then you multiply 95 and 20 then divide by 100.

Answer 2

19 people passed the test

20*0.95=19

Basically take the percentage, out it in decimal form and multiply it by the first number
