Answer:
B. 168 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that there are a total of 600 students.
28% of the students pack their lunch.
To find:
Total number of students who pack their lunch = ?
Solution:
Percentage of a given number is calculated using the following method.
[tex]y\%[/tex] of a number [tex]x[/tex] is given by:
[tex]x \times \dfrac{y}{100}[/tex]
i.e. multiply the number by percentage to be found and divide by 100.
So, we have to find 28% of 600 here, to find the answer to the question.
[tex]\therefore[/tex] Number of students who pack their lunch is given as: (Multiply the given number 600 with 28 and divide by 100.)
[tex]600 \times \dfrac{28}{100}\\\Rightarrow 6 \times 28\\\Rightarrow \bold{168}[/tex]
So, the correct answer is:
B. 168
