There are 15 students on a yearbook committee. 40% of the students are females. How many students on the committee are males?
the answer to this question is 9
To find the number of males on the committee, we first need to calculate how many students are females.
Step 1: Calculate the number of females:
40% of 15 students = (40/100) * 15 = 6
Step 2: Calculate the number of males:
Total number of students on the committee - Number of females
15 - 6 = 9
Therefore, there are 9 males on the committee.
To determine the number of male students on the yearbook committee, we first need to calculate the number of female students. We know that 40% of the students are female, so we can find this by multiplying the total number of students (15) by the decimal equivalent of 40% (0.40):
Number of female students = 15 * 0.40 = 6
Since we know that the remaining students are male, we can subtract the number of female students from the total number of students to get the number of male students:
Number of male students = Total number of students - Number of female students
= 15 - 6
= 9
Therefore, there are 9 male students on the yearbook committee.
15*0.6 = ?
