Answer:​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 50×28/100 = 38

2) 250×8/100=20

Answer 2

Answer:

1. 36

2. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

No. of pupils in third grade= 50

Percentage of absent pupils=28%

No. of pupils absent = 28% of 50

= 14

No. of pupils present= 50 - 14

= 36

2.

No. of pupils in school fair=250

Percentage of fifth graders=60%

No. of fifth graders=60% of 250

= 150

Percentage of guests fifth graders=8%

No. of guest fifth graders=8% of 150

= 12
