Example: 47% of the class is female and the total number of students is 54. How many students are male?)

Solution:
1. Identify the percentage of female students: 47%
2. Calculate the percentage of male students:
100\% - 47\% = 53\%

3. Total number of students: 54

4. Calculate the number of male students using the percentage calculated:
\text{Number of male students} = \left( \frac{53}{100} \right) \times 54

5. Simplify the expression:
\text{Number of male students} = 0.53 \times 54

6. Perform the multiplication:
\text{Number of male students} = 28.62

7. Since the number of students must be a whole number, round 28.62 to the nearest whole number:
- Round 28.62 to 29

Therefore, the number of male students is 29.
