Question

In a certain school, 3/8 of the students had over 80% in math. If 465 students had 80% or less, how many had over 80%?

Answer 1

Answer:

279 students

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. we need to find out how many students there were so first create an equation. since 3/8 of the students had over 80% its means 5/8 students have 80% or less

so the equation to find the number of students is

5/8 * X = 465

step 2. solve the equation by making x subject of formula

x=465/5/8

x= 744

so the total number of students is 744.

step 3. calculate the number of students above 80% using total number of students i.e 3/8 * 744 = 279 students

So 279 students were above 80%
