Answer:

13%

15%

41%

31%

Explanation:

To find the percentage one amount is out of another amount, divide the smaller amount by the bigger amount. You will end up with a decimal (0.xy where x is the 10% place and y is the 1% place).

For example: to find the percentage that 39 is out of 300 students, we divide 39 by 300. This gives us the decimal 0.13. Written as a percentage, that is 13%.

We can do this for all of them.

Here is the math for each one:

39 ÷ 300 = 0.13 → 13%

45 ÷ 300 = 0.15 → 15%

123 ÷ 300 = 0.41 → 41%

93 ÷ 300 = 0.31 → 31%

Once you have all these decimals, you might choose to check your work by adding them up. They should at up to 1.00, or 100%. In this case, they do, so we know these answers are correct.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have questions.
