Question

At a certain high school, 825 students out of the total of 1500 students participate in at

least one after-school activity. What percentage of the students participate in at least
one after-school activity? Be sure your answer is a percentage and a whole number.

Answer 1

Answer: 55%

Explanation:

Step 1

To find the students who participate in at least one activity after school, take the number of students who participate (825) and divide by the total number of students (1500).

825/1500 = 0.55

Step 2

Take the answer from step 1 and multiple it by 100 to find the percentage.

0.55 x 100% = 55%
