Explanation:

The amount that have definite plans is #68%+14% = 82%#

So the amount that do not know is #100%-82% = 18%#

The total count of students is 450

So the count of do not know is 18% of 450

Explanation:

Since 68 % + 14 % = 82 % students having plan of study and for work and 0nly 18 % [ 100-82=18] do not have any plan out of 100 student.

So if out of 100 students only 18 student do not having any future plan, so how many student out of 450 students do not having any future plan ?

#450*18/100=81#

Answer 81 Students
