Question

80
200
2,000

Answer 1

To find out how many students ride their bikes or walk to school, we need to calculate 40 percent of the total number of students.

First, find 40 percent of 500:

\[ 0.40 \times 500 = 200 \]

So, 200 students ride their bikes or walk to school.

The answer is 200.
