Emma and Rosa prefer to use the latest computer to do their assignments. They believe this will keep them on the cutting edge of technology. They are working on a report taken form a survey about how many people feel comfortable using a computer. According to the result, only 36% of people think they have average or better computer skills. If that is true, how many of the twenty-three students in their class feel that they have lower than average computer skills?
To determine how many of the twenty-three students in their class feel that they have lower than average computer skills, we first need to find out how many of them feel they have average or better computer skills.
According to the survey result, only 36% of people consider themselves to have average or better computer skills. To find the number of students who consider themselves to have average or better computer skills in their class, we can use the percentage.
First, calculate the number of students who have average or better computer skills:
36% of 23 = (36/100) * 23 = 8.28
Since you cannot have a fraction of a student, we can round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, 8 students in their class think they have average or better computer skills.
Now, to find the number of students who feel they have lower than average computer skills, subtract the number of students with average or better skills from the total number of students in the class:
23 - 8 = 15
Therefore, 15 of the twenty-three students in their class feel that they have lower than average computer skills.
