Question

At Boone Middle School, 74 out of 97 music students play the violin. At Morgan Middle School, 58% of the music students do. Which middle school has a greater percentage of music students who play the violin?

Answer 1

Boone Middle School

Explanation:

To compare the percentage of music students who play the violin at Boone Middle School and Morgan Middle School, we need to first find the percentage of music students who play the violin at Morgan Middle School.

If we assume that Morgan Middle School has 100 music students, 58% of them play the violin. Therefore, the number of music students who play the violin at Morgan Middle School is:

58/100 x 100 = 58

Now we can compare the percentage of music students who play the violin at each school:

• Boone Middle School: 74/97 x 100% = 76.29%

• Morgan Middle School: 58/100 x 100% = 58%

Therefore, [Boone Middle School has a greater percentage of music students who play the violin.]
