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

60% don’t take the bus

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the % = a number /100.

We know the % of students that take the bus is =40%

what we don’t know is (X) that represents the remaining percentage. so let set up the problem like this.

(X)+40=100

X=100-40

X=60

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
