How many As did Mr. Freeman distribute?

How many As did Mr. Freeman distribute?

• A. 150 As
• B. 210 As
• C. 100 As
• D. 300 As

Answer: (B)

This is a percent-of-total calculation. Convert the percent to a decimal and multiply by the total class size to get the number distributed. If the class has 300 students and 70% received As, compute 0.70 × 300 = 210. So 210 As were distributed. This matches the idea that 210 is seventy percent of three hundred, and it checks because 210 ÷ 300 = 0.70. The other numbers would correspond to different fractions of 300 (e.g., half is 150, one third is about 100, all of them is 300), so 210 fits the 70% scenario.
