Wore vests |
Did not wear vests |
Before |
1x1 = 1 u |
9x1 = 9 u |
Change |
+ 280 |
|
After |
4x9 = 36 u |
1x9 = 9 u |
80% =
80100 =
45The number of children who did not wear vests remains unchanged. LCM of 9 and 1 is 9.
Number of children who wore vests and left
= 36 u - 1 u
= 35 u
35 u = 280
1 u = 280 ÷ 35 = 8
Number of children who did not wear vests
= 9 u
= 9 x 8
= 72
