Question

900 students attend Ridgewood Junior High School. 2% of students bring their lunch to school everyday. How many students brought their lunch to school on Thursday?

Answer 1

To find out how many students brought their lunch to school on Thursday, we can calculate 2% of the total number of students.

First, convert the percentage to a decimal:
\[
2\% = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02
\]

Next, multiply this decimal by the total number of students:
\[
0.02 \times 900 = 18
\]

Therefore, the number of students who brought their lunch to school on Thursday is \( \boxed{18} \).
