According to the information provided, it can be inferred that the conclusion reached by Alex is that there are no advantages to honor roll students.

How to calculate the percentage of students who received the requested classes?

To calculate the percentages of students who received the requested classes, we must take into account the data in the table. Additionally, we must perform the following operations:

  • 144 ÷ 100 = 1.44
  • 64 ÷ 1.44 = 44.44%

According to the above, the percentage of students who are on the honor roll and receive their classes is 44.44%.

To calculate the percentage of students who are not on the honor roll and receive their classes, we do the following operation.

  • 356 ÷ 100 = 3.56
  • 315 ÷ 3.56 = 88.48%

According to the above, it can be inferred that the students who are on the honor roll do not have advantages over the others because the percentage of students who are not on the honor roll and receive their science classes is greater than the percentage of students who are on the honor roll and receive their classes.
