Math - [Lesson 4.2b]

Teacher: Mr. Kovalik (408) 314-1092

Objective and Summary:
SWBAT use double number lines and the equation Part = Percent x Whole to solve for missing percents in real-world situations
**Note: For all problems today, you can use the calculator here to multiply percents or decimals to get your final answer.

All calculations/work should still be shown.**

Preferences--In a recent school survey, about 72% of Prize students said they liked Roblox more than Minecraft.
If there were 297 students who said they liked Roblox more, what was the total number of students asked? (Your answer will need to be rounded to the nearest whole number)

"The total number of students was..."

Bonus question if you want to stretch your thinking:
How many students liked Minecraft more than Roblox? How do you know?
