To calculate the number of students who are present on Monday, you need to subtract the number of absent students from the total number of students in the class.

First, you need to find out how many students are absent by multiplying the total number of students by the percentage of students who are absent. In this case, that would be:

40 x 5/100
40 x 0.05 = 2

This means that 2 students are absent on Monday.

Now, you can subtract the number of absent students from the total number of students in the class to find out how many students are present.

40 – 2 = 38

So, 38 students are present on Monday.
