Question

A dance team is made up of 12 girls and 3

boys. 2 of the girls and 2 of the boys are also
on the debate team.
What percent of the dance team is also on
the debate team?

Answer 1

Answer: 27%

Explanation:

The total amount of kids in the dance team is 15 (12+3).

The total amount of kids in the debate team is 4 (2+2).

To find the percent of the dance team is also on the debate team you would divide the number of kids on the debate team by the number of kids on the dance team.

4/15 = 0.27 x 100% = 27%
