Question: Jeena had been absent from school on 10% of the days in the autumn term.
If there were 80 days in the term,
how many days had she been off school? [blank]
How many days had
she been present? [blank]
1. **State the problem:**
Jeena was absent for 10% of the 80 days in the autumn term. We need to find how many days she was absent and how many days she was present.
2. **Formula for percentage:**
To find a percentage of a quantity, use $$\text{Percentage} \times \text{Total} = \text{Part}$$
3. **Calculate days absent:**
$$10\% \times 80 = \frac{10}{100} \times 80 = 8$$
So, Jeena was absent for 8 days.
4. **Calculate days present:**
Total days minus absent days:
$$80 - 8 = 72$$
So, Jeena was present for 72 days.
**Final answers:**
- Days absent: 8
- Days present: 72
