students

1 answer

To find out how many students do not participate in any after-school activities, we use the percentage given in the table.

From the table, we see that 10% of the students reported that they do not participate in any after-school activities.

Now, we can calculate how many students this percentage represents:

\[ \text{Number of students not participating} = \text{Total students} \times \text{Percentage not participating} \]

Converting 10% to a decimal:

\[ 10% = 0.10 \]

Now, we calculate:

\[ \text{Number of students not participating} = 210 \times 0.10 = 21 \]

Therefore, 21 students do not participate in any after-school activities.
