Question

A track team has 25 runners. There are 18 boys on the team. What percent of the track team are girls? *

Answer 1

28%

Explanation:

Given that,

The total no of runners = 25

No. of boys in the team = 18

We need to find the percent of the track team are girls.

Total no of girls = 25-18 = 7

Percent of girls :

`g=\frac{\text{No. of girls}}{\text{Total runners}}* 100\\\\=(7)/(25)* 100\\\\=28\%`

Hence, there are 28% of girls.
