    The astronomer found that 0.017 at the stars examined were red dwarfs. if 29,000 stars or examined, how many were not red dwarfs?

    If 0.017 were red dwarfs, then we have a not red dwarfs percent of:
    Not red dwarfs pct = 1 - red dwarfs
    Not red dwarfs pct = 1 - 0.017
    Not red dwarfs pct = 0.983

    For 29,000 stars, we have
    Not red dwarfs = Starts * not red dwarfs pct
    Not red dwarfs = 29000 * 0.983
    Not red dwarfs = 28,507
