In a class of students, there are three types of students: those who study science, those who study arts, and those who study commerce. If 40% study science, 30% study arts, and the rest study commerce, what percentage of students study commerce? (2023)

Step 1: Identify the percentages of students studying science and arts. Science is 40% and arts is 30%.
Step 2: Add the percentages of students studying science and arts together. 40% + 30% = 70%.
Step 3: Subtract the total percentage of students studying science and arts from 100% to find the percentage studying commerce. 100% - 70% = 30%.
Step 4: Conclude that 30% of the students study commerce.
