So the answer will be 38.42105263157895 So I got that answer by multiplying 100 times 73% Then you divide that by 190 which equals to 38.42105263157895 Ik this is right bc i do the same thing in math

Careful, you are trying to find a percent of a value You also cannot have a decimal value as people are whole numbers (you can’t have a fraction of a person) You had the right idea, multiply the number of students by the percent
