Lisa attended 72% of 32 school events. How many schol events did Lisa not attend?
my answer is 8
Are you sure you copied the problem correctly? 28% of 32 is 8.96.
This is a poor question.
72% of 32 should have come out as a whole number, but
.72(32) = 23.04
So first of all your answer of 8 is not even close, and wouldn't make any sense
8/32 = 1/4 = 25%
So she went to 23 events, and just thought about going to the 24th a bit ???
Thank you This question sucks!!!
To find out how many school events Lisa did not attend, we first need to calculate 72% of 32.
To do this, multiply 0.72 (the decimal form of 72%) by 32:
0.72 * 32 = 23.04
Since you cannot have a fraction of a school event, we round down to the nearest whole number. So, Lisa attended 23 school events.
To find the number of school events that Lisa did not attend, subtract the number of events she attended from the total number of events:
32 - 23 = 9
Therefore, Lisa did not attend 9 school events, not 8 as you mentioned.
