Question

Of the 650 student at westmoreland junior high, 80% will attend the field trip. How many student will attend the field trip?

Answer 1

Answer: 520

Step-by-step explanation: A way to find even percentages (10%, 20%, etc) is to take 10% of the original number, in this case, it would be 65, and then multiply it by the first number in the percentage. In this case, it would be;

65 x 8 = 520

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

520 students will attend

Step-by-step explanation:  sorry forgot to explain. An easy way to do it is to multiply the number your using (650) x the percentage (80%) here's an example:  60% of 1,005  multiply 60 x 1005 = 603

603 is 60% of 1005.  ;D
