If there are 380 seniors and 29 out of every 40 plan on going to college how many plan on going to college?

275 thx

I got 275.5 -- so round up to 276.

You're welcome.

The answer is 275.5 so round that up and you get about 276.

To find out how many seniors plan on going to college, you can use a proportion based on the given information.

First, you need to determine the ratio of seniors who plan on going to college to the total number of seniors. From the given information, we know that 29 out of every 40 seniors plan on going to college. So, the ratio of seniors planning on going to college to the total number of seniors can be expressed as 29/40.

Now, we can set up a proportion to find the answer.

Let's denote the unknown number of seniors planning on going to college as "x". The proportion can be set up as follows:

29/40 = x/380

To solve for "x", you can solve this proportion by cross-multiplying and then dividing.

Cross-multiplying gives:

29 * 380 = 40 * x

Simplifying the equation, we have:

11020 = 40x

To solve for "x", divide both sides of the equation by 40:

11020/40 = x

x ≈ 275.5

Therefore, approximately 275 seniors plan on going to college out of the total of 380 seniors.

29/40 = x/380

Cross multiply and solve for x.
