Question

Bill is in a class of 15 boys and 35 girls. 40% of the students in the class take bus to school. How many students do not take the bus to school?

Answer 1

There are 30 students who do not take the bus to school.

Further explanation:

Given

Boys in class=15

Girls in class = 35

Total strength of class = 15+35 = 50

In order to find the number of students who do not take the bus to school, we have to calculate first that how many students take the bus to school

So,

$40\%\ students = 50*\frac{40}{100}\\= \frac{2000}{100}\\=20\ stduents$

There are 20 students who take the bus to school.

Now,

$Students\ who\ do\ not\ take\ bus=total\ students-Students\ who\ take\ the\ bus\\=50-20\\=30\ students$

Hence,

There are 30 students who do not take the bus to school.
