Answer:

30 students not take bus to school .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Bill is in a class of 15 boys and 35 girls.

Total number of students in the class = Number of boys + Number of girls

                                                              = 15 + 35

                                                              = 50

As given

40% of the students in the class take the bus to school.

40% is written in the decimal form.

[tex]= \frac{40}{100}[/tex]

= 0.40

Number of students take bus to school = 0.40 × Total students in class.

                                                                  = 0.40 × 50

                                                                  =  20

Thus

Students not take bus to school = Total students - Number of students take bus to school

                                                      = 50 - 20

                                                      =  30

Therefore 30 students not take bus to school .
