Question 5

A college professor teaches a class of 80 students. Fourteen students are business majors, six are education majors, and the rest are undecided. What percentage of the class is undecided?

Accepted Answer

75%

Answer

First, calculate the total number of students who are business or education majors: 14 + 6 = 20 students. Next, subtract this from the total class size to find the number of undecided students: 80 - 20 = 60 students. Finally, calculate the percentage of undecided students: (60 undecided students / 80 total students) * 100% = 75%.
