Question

In a young woman's study group, 7 percent of the students are from the town where the young woman's school is located, 80 percent are from in-state (but not from the school's town), and the rest are from outside the state. What percent of study group students is from outside the state?

Answer 1

Answer: the percent of study group students from outside the state is 13%

Explanation:

The total number of students in the young woman's study group that are from the town where the young woman's school is located is 7%

The total number of students in the young woman's study group that are from in-state (but not from the school's town) is 80%.

Since the rest are from outside the state, the percent of study group students from outside the state would be

100 - (80 + 7) = 100 - 87 = 13%
