Question

A teacher took 25 students on a field trip to a museum. Of the 25 students, 16 students had never been to a museum before. What percent of the students had never been to a museum?

Answer 1

Percentage of the students that have never been to a museum = 64%

Explanation:

The teacher took 25 students on a field trip to a museum. This means Total number of students( students that have been to the museum before + students that have not been to the museum before ) = 25 students

Students that have never been to a museum before = 16 students

Percentage of the students that have never been to a museum =(16/25)×100 =0.64×100

=64%

Therefore,

Percentage of students that have been to the museum is 100-64 =36%
