At National School, 50% of the students have bicycles. Of the students who have bicycles, 30% have black bicycles. What percent of students of National School have black bicycles?
Correct answer: A. 15%
- A. 15%
- B. 20%
- C. 25%
- D. 46%
Explanation
To solve the question, we first determine the percentage of students who have bicycles. The question states that 50% of the students have bicycles. Next, we find the percentage of those students who have black bicycles. The question tells us that 30% of the students with bicycles have black ones.To find the overall percentage of students who have black bicycles, we multiply the two percentages together: 50% * 30% = 0.5 * 0.3 = 0.15, which corresponds to 15%.Therefore, 15% of the students at National School have black bicycles. The other options (20%, 25%, and 46%) are incorrect because they do not correctly multiply the percentages provided in the question.
