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
