Question
There are 140 students in the seventh grade, and 5% are in the Environmental Club. How many students are in the Environmental Club?
Solution
To find out how many students are in the Environmental Club, you need to find 5% of 140.
Here are the steps:
-
Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. So, 5% becomes 0.05.
-
Multiply the total number of students by the decimal. So, 140 * 0.05 = 7.
Therefore, there are 7 students in the Environmental Club.
