Question

Sunset High School has 500 students, and 400 of them are right-handed. The percent proportion is 400/500 = n/100. What percent of students are right-handed?​

Answer 1

Answer: A

400/500=n/100

or 80%

Explanation:

One ratio should represent the numbers of students, and the other ratio should show the percent out of 100.

There are 400 right-handed students out of 500; this ratio is 400/500

The percent, n, is unknown, so this ratio is n/100

Answer 2

80 percent of the students are right handed while the 20 percent are left handed
