If a flight had 150 passengers and 10% cancel, how many passengers will still fly?

If a flight had 150 passengers and 10% cancel, how many passengers will still fly?

• A. 135
• B. 140
• C. 145
• D. 130

Answer: (A)

To determine how many passengers will still fly after 10% cancellation, first calculate 10% of the total number of passengers. With 150 passengers, 10% is calculated as follows: 10% of 150 is equal to \( 150 \times 0.10 = 15 \). Now, to find out how many passengers will still fly, subtract the number of cancellations from the original total: 150 total passengers - 15 canceled passengers = 135 passengers remaining. Thus, the number of passengers who will still fly is 135, which aligns with the correct answer.

To determine how many passengers will still fly after 10% cancellation, first calculate 10% of the total number of passengers. With 150 passengers, 10% is calculated as follows:

10% of 150 is equal to ( 150 \times 0.10 = 15 ).

Now, to find out how many passengers will still fly, subtract the number of cancellations from the original total:

150 total passengers - 15 canceled passengers = 135 passengers remaining.

Thus, the number of passengers who will still fly is 135, which aligns with the correct answer.
