Question

Last year, 85% of students participated in the school fundraiser. Using this data, what would be the BEST prediction of how many of the 320 students will participate in the fundraiser this year?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 272

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know 85% of the students participated last year we can assume the same amount will participate this year so to find the answer you simply do the total number of students (320) multiplied by 85% or .85 to get the best guess of how many students will participate this year.

Answer 2

It’s 272because you would multiply 320 by .85 and you will get 272
