Answer 9

Okay, that is a valid point. Demara, to find a percentage of a whole, you must multiply the whole (in this case, 850 students) by the percentage (in this case, 38%). But, in order to do so, you must first put the percentage in decimal form. To do this, divide 38/100 to get .38. The reason why you divide by 100 is because 100% is a whole (think of grades, if you got 100% on a test, you got the WHOLE test right. if you got a 70% on a test, you got 70% of the total answers (whole) correct.) Now, you can multiply 850 by .38 and you should get 323 students as your answer. So, as previously stated, 850*.38=323.
