Question

Out of the 25 students in Mrs. Green's class, 13 have a pet. What percent of the students in Mrs. Green's class has a pet?

Answer 1

52% of Ms. Green's class has a pet.

Explanation:

So, I did this as simple as possible. First, I changed 25 to 100 to represent 100%. I multiplied 25 by 4 to get 100, so I then multiplied 13 by 4 to get 52.

25 → 100

13 → 52

So, this means that the answer is 52%.

A way to check, is by looking at the answer and seeing if it looks correct. Most of the time, you will be able to see if your answer is correct just by looking at it.
