there are 18 boys and 26 girl in a class. 87.5% of the students in the class take the bus to school. how many students do not take the bus to school

5 students do not take the bus to school.

Step-by-step explanation:

18 boys

26 girls

44 students (18 + 26)

87.5% of 44 = 38.5

38.5 is not applicable and needs to be a whole number so it would be rounded off to 39

30 students take bus to school

44 - 39 = 5

5 students left

Step-by-step explanation:

5 students dont take the bus. This is rounding up since 26+18=44 and 87.5% of 44 is 38.5 (i would round that up to 39) meaning 38 students ride the bus. Therefore, 5 students do not ride the bus since 44 (26 boys and 18 girls) minus 39 equals 5.
