Jackie surveyed 50 students at her school and found that 0.64 of the students she surveyed said their favorite class is math. Another 24% of the students she surveyed reported that their favorite class is science. How many more students in the survey prefer math over science? 12 20 32 40

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):

What is a percentage in decimal form?

OpenStudy (moneybaby980):

64%

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):

OpenStudy (moneybaby980):

0.24

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):

good Now, multiply the decimal by the number of students she surveyed

OpenStudy (moneybaby980):

12

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):

thats the number of students who voted for that class.

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):

now do the same for the other one

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):

Hello? o.o 12 is not the answer..... Its just the votes for science....

OpenStudy (moneybaby980):

32

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):

now subtract the two... and thats the answer. 32 - 12 = x

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):
