A class of 25 students had a vote. 24% voted on selection 'a'. 1/5 of the class voted on selection 'b'. And 0.56 voted on selection 'c'. How many of the students voted on selection 'c'?



Answer :

To find this out, change all of them into decimals. To change a percent into a decimal, divide the percent by 100. To change a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. 24% as a decimal is 0.24. 1/5 as a decimal is 0.20.

Multiply each of the decimals by the number of students.

So,

0.24*25= 6

0.20*25= 5

0.56*25= 14

6 people voted on section A

5 people voted on section B

14 people voted on section C

Hope it helps :)
