Of the 597 students at Duzine Elementary School, 19% have a computer at home. About how many students have a computer at home?

I'll be glad to check your answer.

113

Right! :-)

19% of 597 students

19/100 multiplied by 597
113.43 students is the answer

To find the approximate number of students who have a computer at home, you can take the percentage and multiply it by the total number of students.

Step 1: Find 19% of the total number of students.
19% of 597 = (19/100) × 597 = 0.19 × 597 = 113.43 (rounded to two decimal places)

Step 2: Round the result to the nearest whole number since we're dealing with people.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, approximately 113 students have a computer at home.
