Question

During a school pep rally, 15 students wear a white shirt, and 45 students wore a blue shirt. What percentage of students wore a blue shirt?

a) 25%
b) 50%
c) 75%
d) 80%

Answer 1

To find the percentage of students who wore a blue shirt, divide the number of students who wore a blue shirt by the total number of students and multiply by 100. The correct answer is 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of students who wore a blue shirt, we need to divide the number of students who wore a blue shirt by the total number of students and then multiply by 100.

The total number of students is 15 white shirts + 45 blue shirts = 60 students.

The number of students who wore a blue shirt is 45.

So, the percentage of students who wore a blue shirt is (45/60) * 100 = 75%.

Therefore, the correct answer is c) 75%.
