Answer:
Given the statement:Suppose that 216 students attended school one day, and 62 percent of them ate the school's breakfast.
Total number of students attended school = 216 students.
and 62% of them ate the school breakfast that day.
Now, to calculate the number of students ate the breakfast that day.
Proportion states that the two ratios or fraction are equal.
Let x represents the number of students ate the breakfast that day.
then, by using proportion;
[tex]\frac{62}{100}=\frac{x}{216}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 216 we get;
[tex]x = \frac{62}{100} \times 216[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]x = 133.92[/tex]
therefore, the number of students ate the school breakfast that day(to the nearest whole number) is, 134 students.
