Asurvey showed that 35% of the students prefer plain white milk over chocolate milk. if the school has 1200 students. how many students prefer chocolate milk?

The number of students who prefer chocolate milk is 780 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of students who prefer plain white milk = 35 %

Let the number of students who prefer chocolate milk = x

Now, ∵ The percentage of students who prefer plain white milk = 35 %

∴ The percentage of students who prefer chocolate milk = 100 % - 35 % = 65%

So , As The number of  students who prefer chocolate milk = x

Or, 65 % of total number of students in school = x

So, x = × 1200

or, x =

∴  x = 780

So, the number of students who prefer chocolate milk = x = 780

And  students who prefer plain white milk = 1200 - x = 1200 - 780 = 420

Hence, The number of students who prefer chocolate milk is 780 . Answer
