Question

Suppose 15 Argus student ride the city bus to school. Out of a total of 220 students, what percent ride the city bus (round to nearest whole %)

Answer 1

7%

Explanation:

(15/220) x 100 = 6. 8182 = 7%

to convert to percentage multiply by 100

To convert to the nearest whole number, look at the first number after the decimal. If it is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the number after the decimal. 8 is greater than 5, so add one to 6
