Question

Everyone at Lorenzo's school wore either red or green for school spirit day. 738 students wore red and 162 students wore green. What percentage of the students wore red?

Answer 1

82% of the school wore read because 738+162=900 and 738/900= 82%

Answer 2

Given that ,

738 students wore red while 162 students wore green.

Therefore , total number of students ,

`\dashrightarrow \: 738 + 162 \\ \dashrightarrow \: 900`

Now , 738 students out of 900 wore red.

So , percentage of students who wore red ,

`\dashrightarrow \: \frac{738}{9\cancel{00}} * \cancel{100} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: \cancel(738)/(9) \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: 82\%`
