Question

 
How many more freshmen are there than juniors?

Answer 1

To find out how many more freshmen there are than juniors in the high school with an enrollment of 1600 students, we first need to calculate the number of freshmen and juniors.

1. Calculate the number of freshmen: \[ \text{Number of freshmen} = 28% \text{ of } 1600 = 0.28 \times 1600 \] \[ = 448 \]

2. Calculate the number of juniors: \[ \text{Number of juniors} = 22% \text{ of } 1600 = 0.22 \times 1600 \] \[ = 352 \]

3. Calculate how many more freshmen there are than juniors: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Number of freshmen} - \text{Number of juniors} = 448 - 352 \] \[ = 96 \]

Thus, there are 96 more freshmen than juniors.
