There are 840 students in Marieka’s summer camp. If 5% of them are left-handed, how many students are left-handed?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the number of left-handed students at Marieka's summer camp, you can calculate 5% of 840.

First, convert 5% to a decimal: \[ 5% = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05 \]

Next, multiply this decimal by the total number of students: \[ 0.05 \times 840 = 42 \]

Therefore, there are 42 left-handed students in the camp.
