In a survey of 398 students, 52% said they loved music. use estimation to explain how many students loved music.                plz i have this for homework right now and i need to finish !

52 percent of 398 is 206.96 that's the answer

We have 398 students with 52% that love music. To find the percentage for this problem, we can use this equation.
S= total number of students in the survey
M= music lovers
S• (52/100)=M
We have to divide the percentage by 100 because that allows use to calculate under 1, so there isn’t an increase in anyway, it should be less than the initial number. So if we multiply 398 by 52, we would get more than 100 percent, using 1 as 100 for percentages allow for an increase or decrease.
398•.52=206.96
For estimation, we can say there are about 400 students and we have to find 50%. Half of 400 is 200, which is a close estimate. So around 200 students in the school share a love of music.
