Five percent of the 300 senior students got a full merit college scholarship and ten percent of them got a half merit scholarship. How many senior students did not get any scholarships?
Please answer the following question by reasoning step-by-step.
255
300 x 5 / 100 = 15 senior students got a full merit scholarship.

300 x 10 / 100 = 30 senior students got a half merit scholarship.

So, a total of 15 + 30 = 45 students got scholarships.

Therefore, 300 - 45 = 255 senior students did not get any scholarships.

.

Therefore, the answer is 255
