Question

In your class, 10 of the 25 students like playing tennis. What

percent of the students in your class like playing tennis?

Answer 1

40% Use the ratio method

Explanation:

Since

10 : 25 = X : 100

Then we know

10/25 = X/100

Multiplying both sides by 100 cancels on the right

100 × (10/25) = (X/100) × 100

100 × (10/25) = X

Then solving for X

X = 100 × (10/25)

X = 40

Therefore

10 : 25 = 40 : 100

Answer 2

Total students=25

Students who like to play tennis=10

Now,

Percentage of students who likes to play tennis

`= (10)/(25) * 100`

`= 40\%`

40℅ of the students likes to play tennis

hope this helps you
