Question

There are 35 students in class. On a certain day 28 students were present. What percent showed up to school

Answer 1

Total students : 35

Present students :28

Absent students:35-28=7

Percentage of present ones: 28/35×100%=80%

Answer 2

The percentage of students attended the college is 80%.

SOLUTION:

Given, there are 35 students in class.

On a certain day 28 students were present.

We need to find what percent of students came to school.

We know that,

Attended students percentage =
`$\frac{\text {number of students present}}{\text {total strength of the class}} * 100$`

Here, total strength = 35 and number of students present = 28.

Now, Attended students percentage =
`$(28)/(35) * 100$`

`$=(4)/(5) * 100$`

= 4 x 20 = 80

Hence, the percentage of students attended the collage is 80%.
