126 are first years and 294 are not.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 30% students of 420 students are years. To find the first years we multiply 30% or 0.3 by 420 to get 126.

To find the students who are not first years we take the 420 total students and subtract 126 to get 294 or you can take the remaining 70% or 0.7 of 420 to get 294 which are not the first year students.
