Understanding:
The total number of students is 40. 8.20% of them were absent, which means the rest were present, or in other words, (100-8.20)% were present or 91.8%. We can find the actual number of present students by multiplying the percentage of present students by the total number of students.
Solution:
Present Percentage = 91.8% or [tex]\frac{91.8}{100}[/tex]
Present Students = [tex](\frac{91.8}{100})(40)=36.72[/tex], since we are dealing with people we have to round it, so the present students are actually 37.
