A school has 400 students and 40% of them take part in the music workshop. How many students take part?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 160
- Step 1: 40% of 400 is 40/100 x 400 = 160. Answer: 160. Why not the others: 240: gives the remaining part. 10: divides instead of multiplying. 200: adds the percentage.
