In a class of 300 students, the number of smoking teens is 40% of the class. In a year, 70% of the smoking students are hospitalized from smoking-related complications. Calculate the total number of smoking students from the class who have not been hospitalized from smoking-related complications.
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
If the class has 300 students, there are 40 / 100 * 300 = 120 smoking students. In a year, 70% of the smoking students are hospitalized from smoking - related complications, a total of 70 / 100 * 120 = 84 students. The number of smoking students who've not been hospitalized from smoking - related complications is 120 - 84 = 36.
Thus, the answer is 36.
