Question

out of 72 children in a class, 18 got marks above 95 in mathematics. what percent of the children in the classgot marks above 95 in mathematics?

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

Total number of students in class is 72

number of students that got mark above 95 is 18

percentage of students that got mark above 95 is equal to (number of students that got mark above 95) /(total number of students in the class) times 100

i:e (18/72)* 100 = 25%

Answer 2

25%

Explanation:

we can find the percentage by converting the fraction of children who scored 95 above, being 18 of the 72.

thus, we have the fraction
`(18)/(72)`, and dividing the numerator by denominator by 9 we get
`(2)/(8)`. dividing further we get
`(1)/(4).` simplest form.

now, to convert to % we need to multiply the fraction by 100, to do this we convert to decimals:
`(1)/(4)=(25)/(100)=0.25`. then, multiply by 100%.

`0.25*100\%=25\%` is our solution.
