40% students voted for Jenn, 60% for kevin, there are 300 students.how many more students voted for Kevin than Jenn?
40% of 300 is: 0.40*300 = 120 votes for Jenn
60% of 300 is: 0.60*300 = 180 votes for Kevin
180 - 120 = 60
60 students more voted for Kevin.
Al ate 24 peanuts.this represents 75% of the bag.how many were originally in the bag?
let x = the number of peanuts originally in the bag
75% of x is 24
0.75x = 24
by solving we find:
