Question

The sixth-graders at Aaliyah's school got to choose between a field trip to a museum and a field trip to a factory. 80% of the sixth-graders picked the museum. If there are 90 sixth-graders in all at Aaliyah's school, how many sixth-graders went on the trip to the museum?

Answer 1

Answer:

If in a field trip there were 90 sixth grade students of which 80 % went to museum, then the number of students who went to the museum is 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total number of 6th-gradee students = 90

Percentage of students who went to museum = 80%

That is

Number of students who went to museum = $\frac{80}{100} *90\\\\= 8*9 \\\\= 72$

So, 72 students went to the museum.
