Question

18 girls and 12 boys on a swim team. what is the percentage of boys?​

Answer 1

40%

Explanation:

30 total kids

12/30 as a decimal is 0.4

to make a decimal into a percent you move the decimal point 2 times to the right

that would be 40

then add the percent to make 40%

Answer 2

40%

Explanation:

The first step is to add 18 girls + 12 boys, which gives you the total number of people on the swim team, 30.

Next, you divide the 12 boys by the total swim team members, so:

`(12)/(30)` = 0.4

Then, you multiply 0.4 by 100 to get the percentage:

0.4 × 100 = 40

Therefore, the swim team is made up of 40% boys, and 60% girls.
