On the subway 8 out of 11 people are carrying a briefcase. Based on this information, if there are 700 on the subway, then about how many do not have a briefcase?

Respuesta :

8÷11=72.72
700÷11=87.5
87-88?
8/11=.7272 = 73%

meaning that 27% dont have a briefcase

therefore multiply 700 by .27 and you get about 189 who dont have a briefcase
