a. all you have to do is subtract 62 from 100 so 38% of the 6th grade class voted to have the party on the second

 

b1. well i thought to solve this one you would multiply 355 and .62 together but that equals 220.1 and you cant have .1 of a kid... so im not sure about b1

 

b2. subtract b1 from 355

 

3. i did 355 x .80 and you get 284 students

 

i appoligize ahead of time if i did anything wrong!

 See saseflower's answer.....

b.there are 355 6th graders at oceanview middle school.

 

1.How any voted for having the party on the third?

355 x 62%  = about 220....again...saseflower is right on the money !!!

2. How many voted for having the party on the second?

355 - 220 = 135   (saseflower has the correct proceedure !!)

3. The planning committee is expecting 80% of the class to attend the party. How many students are they expecting?

Again, saseflower is correct !!
