Question

60 students on field trip 20 students were 8th graders. What ratio shows relationship between eighth graders and everyone who went on trip. Write ratio as percent

Answer 1

Percentage=33.33%

Explanation:

Total number of students=Number of 8th grader+others who went on trip

where;

Total number of students=60

Number of 8th graders=20

Others who went on trip=x

replacing;

60=20+x

x=(60-20)

x=40

Others who went on trip=x=40

Ratio of number of eighth graders to the number of everyone who went on the trip is;

Eighth graders who went=20 students

Everyone who went including the eighth graders=60

20/60==1/3

(1/3)×100=33.33%

Percentage=33.33%
