Question

Holly missed 6 of 185 school days this year. Approximately what percent of school days was Holly in attendance?

Answer 1

Holly attended 179 out of 185 school days, which corresponds to an approximate attendance rate of 96.75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage of school days Holly was in attendance, first we need to find out how many days she attended school. She missed 6 days, so she attended 185 - 6 = 179 days. Next, we calculate the attendance percentage using the formula:

Attendance Percentage = (Number of Days Attended / Total Number of School Days) × 100%

Attendance Percentage = (179 / 185) × 100%

We then perform the calculation:

Attendance Percentage = (0.9675) × 100%

Attendance Percentage ≈ 96.75%

Therefore, Holly was in attendance for approximately 96.75% of the school days.

Answer 2

96.76%

Step-by-step explanation:

185 - 6 = 179

Holly was 179 days in attendance.

179/185 = 0.967567568

Holly was about 96.76% present.
