Question

6th grade students were asked what their favorite subject was. 56 students said that math was their favorite subject. If there are 160 6th grade students, what is the percentage of students who chose math as their favorite subject?

Answer 1

Answer: 35%

Explanation:

Given: total students in 6th grade = 160

Students said that math was their favorite subject = 56

The percentage of students who chose math as their favorite subject =

`\frac{\text{Students like math}}{\text{Total students}}*100`

`=(56)/(160)*100\\\\=35\%`

Hence, the percentage of students who chose math as their favorite subject = 35%.
