Question

The expected attendance for the Drama Club production is 65% of the student body. If the student body consists of 300 students, how many students are expected to attend?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The number of students expected to attend the drama club = 195

Step 1. Understand what is given.

The expected attendance = 65%

The total number of students = 300

Step 2. Make a strategy.

We will have to find 65% of 300.

Step 3. Calculation.

$\begin{array}{l}300\left(65\%\right)\\ =300\left(\frac{65}{100}\right)\\ =3·65\\ =195\end{array}$
