How many students to attend?

Question

The expected attendance for the Drama Club production is 65% of the student body. If the student body consists of 300 students, how many students are expected to attend?

Answer 1

When we take a percent of a whole, we are actually taking a portion out of its whole.

 

 

65% is the same as 0.65

 

 

Multiply 0.65 by 300

 

0.65 × 300 = 195

 

 

195 students are expected to attend the Drama Club.
