A class of 25 students had a vote. 24% voted on selection 'a'. 1/5 of the class voted on selection 'b'. And 0.56 voted on selection 'c'. How many of the students voted on selection 'c'?
To find this out, change all of them into decimals. To change a percent into a decimal, divide the percent by 100. To change a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. 24% as a decimal is 0.24. 1/5 as a decimal is 0.20.
Multiply each of the decimals by the number of students.
So,
0.2425= 6
0.2025= 5
0.56*25= 14
6 people voted on section A
5 people voted on section B
14 people voted on section C
Hope it helps :)
Find 0.56 of 25.
0.56 * 25 = 14
So 14 of the students voted on selection 'c'.
