Given Total number of students: 300 Undecided students:50 Supporters: 84%
Problem: total number of supporters?
Solution Step 1 . Subtract 50 students to the total number of students since they are undecided.
300-50=250 students
Step 2 . Multiply the result from step 1 to 84% or 0.84 to get the total number of supporters
250*84%= 210 students
Or
250*0.84= 210 Students
Step 3. Subtract the result of step 2( total number of students supposedly to support Mr. Leadit) to step 1( total number of students who supported Mr. Leadit)
250-210=40 students
Finalize your answer There 40 students who didn’t support Mr. Leadit.
