Question

At 1am last night Mrs. Allan sent 25 emails she said that 20 of those emails were to her target students. What percent of the emails were sent to her target students?

Answer 1

80% of mail sent by Mrs. Allan is to the target students.

Solution:

Given that at 1 am last night Mrs. Allan sent 25 emails.

She said that 20 of those emails were to her target students.

Need to calculate percent of the emails sent to target students.

Total number of email sent by Mrs. Allan = 25

Number of emails sent to target students = 20

`\text { Percentage of mail sent to target students }=\frac{\text { Emails sent to target students }}{\text { Total number sent to target student }}`

`=(20)/(25) * 100=(2000)/(25)=80 \%`

Hence 80% of mail sent by Mrs. Allan is to the target students.
