a school bus has 1000 students. on wednesday, 300 students went on a field trip. what percent the students did not go on the field trip.

Total student = 1000

Gone to trip = 300
Remains = 700
% = 700*100/1000 = 70%

...... Soo I basically do 1000รท700

thank you so much

Sooo just a simple division problem ?

so i divide 700 by 1000

and how did you get 700

Yes -- but only if there are 1,000 students in the school.

1000 - 300 =700

think of 10

the subtract 3
you have 7 right?
so just add 2 zeros to the end and there's your answer.
hoped that helps

oh and put that as a decimal 70% of 100
