The band at East Side Middle School lost 20 percent of its 230 members from last year. How many band members left?

Well, you would do 230*.20, because percents are out of 100. Then when you get the answer (46), you subtract that from 230 to get your answer, 184 students!!!

The total number of band members left will be 184.

What is the percentage?

The quantity of anything is stated as though it were a fraction of a hundred. A quarter of 100 can be used to express the ratio. Per 100 is what the term percent signifies. The symbol '%' is used to symbolize it.

The percentage is given as,

Percentage (P) = [Initial value - Final value] / Initial value x 100

The band at East Side Middle School lost 20 percent of its 230 members from last year.

Let x be the final band member left.

Then we have

20 = [(230 - x) / 230] × 100

0.20 = (230 - x) / 230

46 = 230 - x

x = 230 - 46

x = 184

The total number of band members left will be 184.
