Question

A Christian school had 25 students in the senior class. A total of 80% of these students went to college. How many students went to college?

Answer 1

80% of 25 students

80÷100 × 25 = 20

therefore , 20 students went to college.

Answer 2

20 students went to college.

Explanation:

In order to find a percent of a number you must do the number multiplied by the percent divided by 100. For example, the formula is (x*%) divided by 100. 25*80 = 2000. 2000/100 = 20 students. Hope I helped!
