Question

On a given day, 36 of the 445 students in a school were absent. What was the appproximate absentee rate that day?

Answer 1

Answer: The approximate absentee rate that day would be 8.09%.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students who were absent = 36

Total number of students = 445

We need to find the approximate absentee rate that day :

Rate of absentee of that day would be

`\frac{\text{Number of absentee}}{\text{Total number of students}}* 100\\\\=(36)/(445)* 100\\\\=8.09\%`

Hence, the approximate absentee rate that day would be 8.09%.
