Question

In a class of 80 students, 75% of the students are present. Write a program in QBASIC to calculate the number of students present and absent in the class.​

Answer 1

Answer:

80 x 0.8 = 64 were present

or

80x 0.2 = 16 were absent

80–16 = 64 were present.

Me: Percent is an old way of saying per 100, because cent is a latin term that means 100. Think “CENTury”.
