In a sponsored walk for charity, 560 students participated. Of these, 0.72% completed the 15-km walk. How many students completed the walk?

Answer 1

I assume you mean 72%, not 0.72%.

0.72 * 560 = 403.

Answer 2

Actually, on the sheet I have, it says 0.72%

Answer 3

Whoever wrote the sheet made a mistake.

0.0072 * 560 = 4

It doesn't make sense that only 4 students completed the walk.

Answer 4

Well, I guess it'll do. Thanks for your help.

Answer 5

Um 0.72% as a decimal is 0.0072, and since 0.72% is even 1% it makes sense that it’s 4 people. How ever, chances are , I will not be believed . This question is from the Alberta 2009 math booklet from the unit review questions section. Good luck , like if 30 people ran the race and 0.8 percent finished it, then your answer=
0.008 X 30 , it equals 0.24. Use the 1 percent method
