Question

in a school 80% of the students were paying fees and others were on scholarships. during the year the school increased the fees. but the school exempted 10% of the fee paying students from paying the increase of fees. what percentage of the total students are now paying full fees?

Answer 1

80 percent because the other are left by the school

Answer 2

Answer:

72%

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of fee paying students exempt from increase

=> 90% of fee paying students pay full fee

So

full fee paying students

= 90% of ( fee paying students )

= 90% of ( 80% of students)

= 90% × ( 80% × number of students )

= 0.9 × 0.8 × number of students

= 0.72 × number of students

= 72% × number of students

= 72% of students
