Question

about 56% of the 2,553 students are enrolled in at least one honors class. how many students are enrolled in an honors class?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find \(56\%\) of \(2553\), first convert \(56\%\) to a decimal. \(56\%=\frac{56}{100} = 0.56\)

Step2: Multiply the decimal by the total number of students

Multiply \(0.56\) by \(2553\). \(0.56\times2553=(0.5 + 0.06)\times2553=0.5\times2553+0.06\times2553\)
\(0.5\times2553 = 1276.5\) and \(0.06\times2553=153.18\)
\(1276.5+153.18 = 1429.68\approx1430\)

Answer:

\(1430\)
