Question

At the local golf course Tom has eight of the 25 best course ever recorded what percent of the best score does Tom have?

Answer 1

The steps to calculate percentage are as follows:

1) Determine the total amount you want to find a percentage for.

2) Divide the number you want to find the percentage for.

3) Multiply the answer above by 100.

Applying this to our question, we can follow the steps:

STEP 1:

The total number of high scores is 25. Tom's score is 8.

STEP 2:

We will divide 8 by 25 such that

`(8)/(25)=0.32`

STEP 3:

Since the number from step 2 is 0.32, we can calculate the answer to be

`0.32*100=32`

The correct option is OPTION C (32%).
