Number of students from Club V at first in percent
= 100% - 30%
= 70%
Number of students from Club V at first
= 70% x 60
=
70100 x 60
= 42
Number of students in Club U remains unchanged.
6 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 6 = 10
Number of students from Club V in the end
= 5 u
= 5 x 10
= 50
Number of students joined Club V
= 50 - 42
= 8
Answer(s): 8
