A survey shows 60% of 250 students prefer online classes. How many prefer online classes?

60% of 250 means take 60 out of 100 parts of 250. Convert 60% to a decimal (0.60) and multiply: 0.60 × 250 = 150. If you prefer a fraction, 60% = 3/5, so (3/5) × 250 = (250 ÷ 5) × 3 = 50 × 3 = 150. Quick check: 50% of 250 is 125, plus 10% (which is 25) gives 150. So 150 students prefer online classes.
