Question

5. There are 42 teachers who work in a school. On Monday, 29 teachers were present. What percentage of the teachers showed up for work? ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In any case where you're asked, "what percentage of A is B?" you can simply divide the number B by the A. The decimal you get is the answer. for example, if you're being asked what percentage 12 is of 25, you just divide 12 by 25 to get 0.48, which translates to 48 percent. in your case, 29/42 is 0.69 (rounded down from 0.6904761905) which equals 69%.

In a case where B is larger than A, you still do the same, only with the addition of the whole number. Ex: what percentage of 25 is 86?

86/25 is 3.44, so your answer is 344%.

Hope this helped :)
