Question

The sixth-graders at Brandon's school got to choose between a field trip to a museum and a field trip to a factory. 90 sixth-graders picked the museum. If there are 100 sixth-graders in all at Brandon's school, what percentage of the sixth-graders picked the museum?

Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Answer 1

The answer is 90%. You take the number going to the museum divided by the total people. So that would be 90/100, which is .90 and you move two decimal places over to find the percentage.

Answer 2

Answer: 57%

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is 57%. The reason is because when we are talking about percentage, it always out of 100. 57 out of 100, you would make that into a fraction so it would be 57/100. You would then divide 57/100 to get 0.57. Move the decimal two places to the right to get 57%.
