Question

if 20%of Mrs moores class earned a D, how many of her 30 students earned a D? What percent of her students earned a different grade?

Answer 1

6 students earned a d. 80% EARNED A DIFFERENT GRADE

Answer 2

20% of 30 earned a D.

turn the percent to a decimal 20% = 0.20
" of " means multiply

so we have 0.20(30) = 6

6 students earned a D.

and if 20% earned a D, that leaves 80% with the other grades because 20% + 80% = 100%
