Number of students from Club A at first in percent
= 100% - 30%
= 70%
Number of students from Club A at first
= 70% x 60
=
70100 x 60
= 42
Number of students in Club Z remains unchanged.
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
Number of students from Club A in the end
= 4 u
= 4 x 12
= 48
Number of students joined Club A
= 48 - 42
= 6
Answer(s): 6
