Question

suppose 88% of students chose to study German their senior year, and that meant that there were 792 such students. how many students chose not to take german their senior year?

Answer 1

88% percent of seniors study German, and that is 797 students.

Let x be the total of seniors.

88% of x is 792.

0,88x=792 (dividing both sides by 0.88)

x= 900

900-792= 108

108 students choose not to take German their senior year.
