Question

on the rainy day 35% of a class of 40 students were present find the number of absentees

Answer 1

Percentage of students present = 35% (Given)

Total number of students = 40 (Given)

Find the percentage of students absent:

Students absent = 100 - 35% = 65%

Find the number of students absent:

Student absent = 65% of 40 students

Student absent = 0.65 x 40

Student absent = 26

Answer: 26 students are absent

Answer 2

absentees %=100-35
=65%
=40×65/100
4×65/10
=4×13/2
=2×13
=26
so 26 students were absent
