Question

If 40 out of 46 students of a class were present on a certain day, what percent of the

students were present and absent on that particular day?

Answer 1

Answer: 86.96% are present, 13.04% are absent

Explanation:

To find the percent, we will divide the wanted by the total. Then, we will multiply by 100.

For those present, 40 and 46 students are there.

40 / 46 = 0.869565

0.869565 * 100 ≈ 86.96%

For those absent, 46 - 40 = 6 students absent.

6 / 46 = 0.13043

0.13043 * 100 ≈ 13.04%
