21 students in michael's classroom are wearing jeans. there are 25 students in his class. michael says that 80% of his class is wearing jeans. is michael correct ? explain your reasoning.

There are a total of 25 students in Michael's classroom. Given 21 students are wearing jeans.

Michael said that 80% of his class is wearing jeans.

So we can get the number of students wearing jeans by finding 80% of 25 students.

80% of 25 = 25 × 80/100 = 2000/100 = 20

So 80% of 25 students is 20 students.

But given 21 students are wearing jeans.

So, Michael is not correct as 21 students are not 80% of his classroom.
