Math Problem Statement

if there is 15 kids and 93% of them get on a bus, what is the number of remaining kids off the bus

Solution

To determine how many kids remain off the bus:

  1. First, calculate how many kids get on the bus: 93% of 15=93100×15=13.9593\% \text{ of } 15 = \frac{93}{100} \times 15 = 13.95 Since the number of kids must be a whole number, round 13.95 to 14 kids getting on the bus.

  2. Subtract the number of kids on the bus from the total number of kids: 1514=115 - 14 = 1

So, 1 kid remains off the bus.
