Question

In your class there are 48 student; 32 students are female. approximately what percentage is male?

Answer 1

33.33%

Explanation:

First, let us find the number of male students.

Total students = Male students + Female students

Male students = Total students - Female students

Male students = 48 - 32

Male students = 16

Then, let us find the percentage of males.

`\sf Percentage\:of\: males=(No.\:of\:males)/(Total\:number\:of\:students) *100\\\\\sf Percentage\:of\: males=(16)/(48) *100\\\\\sf Percentage\:of\: males=0.3333 *100\\\\\sf Percentage\:of\: males=33.33`

Answer 2
