Question

At Marble Middle School, 35% of the students are 6th graders, 32% are 7th graders, and the rest are 8th graders. What percent are 8th graders?

Answer 1

you just have to add 35 plus 32 which you get 67 then subtract 100 from 67 and you get 33

Answer 2

All the students in that Middle School combined would equal 100%. So just add 35% and 32%, and subtract that answer from 100 to find out the percent of eighth graders.

35% + 32% = 67%

100% – 67% = 33%

The percent of 8th graders at Marble Middle School is 33%
