To find the percentage of seventh-grade students who did not attend the dance, we need to subtract the number of students who attended the dance from the total number of seventh-grade students, and then calculate the percentage.
Given:
Total number of seventh-grade students = 180
Number of students who attended the dance = 14
Number of students who did not attend the dance = Total number of seventh-grade students - Number of students who attended the dance
= 180 - 14
= 166
To find the percentage, we divide the number of students who did not attend the dance by the total number of seventh-grade students and multiply by 100:
Percentage of students who did not attend the dance = (Number of students who did not attend / Total number of students) * 100
= (166 / 180) * 100
≈ 92.22%
Therefore, approximately 92.22% of the seventh-grade students did not attend the dance.
