Question

8 out of the 20 students at a school assembly were first-grade students. What percentage of the students at the assembly were first-graders? Write your answer using a percent sign (%)

Answer 1

40%

Explanation:

To find this, the method I personally like to use is the is over of equals percent over 100.

Your ratio should look like this:

`(8)/(20)` =
`(x)/(100)`

Then I cross multiplied; 8 x 100 divide that product by 20.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

40%

Explanation:

Take 8 and divide it by 20 to get the percent.
