t her school and found that .55 of the students she surveyed said their favorite class is math . another 15% of the students she surveyed reported that their favorite class is science. How many more students in the survey prefer math over science
Well .55 as a percent is 55% straight. Then you would have to do 55% - 15% to see the difference then, that difference will be your answer. My preferred steps:
55% - 15%
55 - 15 = 40
So this means 40% of the students surveyed math over science.
