There are 840 students in marieka’s summer Camp. if 5% of them are left handed, how many of them are left handed

Answer 1

To find out how many students are left-handed, you can calculate 5% of 840.

First, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:

\[ 5% = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05 \]

Now, multiply this decimal by the total number of students:

\[ 0.05 \times 840 = 42 \]

Therefore, there are 42 left-handed students at Marieka's summer camp.
