Question

The sixth-graders at Helen's school got to choose between a field trip to a museum and a field trip to a factory. 21 sixth-graders picked the museum and 29 sixth-graders picked the factory. What percentage of the sixth-graders picked the museum?

Answer 1

42%

Explanation:

You add the # of students that picked the museum and factory together. You then want to remember this formula when finding percentages.

# Of students choosing choice /Total # of students/items together

if this was set up this is what it would look like

21/50 = 42%
