Answer:

184

Step-by-step explanation:

convert percentage into decimal:

40% = 40/100 = 0.4

Therefore 40% of 460 = 0.4 x 460 = 184

Solution:

Note that:

  • 460 students = Total
  • 40% = Male

Use the percentage formula to find out how much males attended the freedom academy.

  • Total males/Total students x 100 = % of males
  • => x/460 x 100 = 40%
  • => x/46 x 10 = 40%
  • => x/23 x 5 = 40%
  • => 5x/23 = 40%
  • => 5x = 920
  • => x = 920/5 = 184

184 males attended the Freedom academy.
