Answer 1

Answer:

30 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Students = 40$

$\% = 75\%$ ---- percentage of those that returned their slips

Required

Determine the number of those that returned their slips

Represent the number with n

To calculate n, we simply multiply the number of students by the percentage of those that returned their slips

i.e.

$n = 40 * 75\%$

Convert % to decimal

$n = 40 * 0.75$

$n = 30$

Hence, 30 students returned their slips
