Question

Of my 135 students, 20% have cowboy boots. How many students wear cowboy boots?

Answer 1

We can start with the whole of 135, and find out 10% of that.

135/10 or 135 divided by 10= 13.5

This means that 1/10 of it is equal to 13.5, and that’s 10%. To find 20%, you want to do 13.5 x 2, and this will get you 27.

The answer is 27.
