There are 110 sixth-grade students in a Florida middle school. 40% of the students enjoy playing video games on the weekends. Using the percent as a rate per 100, how many students enjoy playing video games?
Explanation: 40% of 110 is 44 so we make this a fraction 44/110 and then simplify to get 2/5 and after that we know that 2/5 is also 40/100, meaning 40 out of 100 students like video games.
