Whose class had a larger percentage of students with no pets?

Answer 1

Charley's class

Explanation:

Amanda's class has 7 students with zero pets out of 25 total students. Charley's class has 8 students with zero pets out of 27 total students.

7/25 = 28% with zero pets

8/27 = around 30% with zero pets

Charley's class has a larger percentage of students with no pets

Answer 2

Charley's class.

Explanation:

There are 25 students in Amanda class and 27 in Charley's.

Number of students with no pets in Amanda's = 7 which is 100 * 7/25 = 28%.

In Charley's class this is 8 which is 100 * 8/27 = 29.6%.
