Question

8% of the High School students have their license.If there are 1000 high school students in your neighborhood, how many have their license?

Answer 1

Percentages

To calculate the X% of a given number N, we proceed as follows:

X * N / 100

We know X=8% of the High School students have their license. There are N=1000 high school students, thus the number of students with their license is:

8 * 1000 / 100 = 80

80 students have their license
