Question

25 students in a class took an algebra test 20 students passed the test what percent passed help

Answer 1

80% of the students passed the algebra test

Explanation:

So for this question, they want to know the percentage of the people that passed.

20 out of 25 students passed, we could find the percentage using two ways:

-------

1. We can use proportions to figure out the percentage (This can only work if the numbers are factorable by 100 such as 10, 25, 50...)

25 × 4 would equal 100. You must multiply the same number to the top as well.

So 20 × 4 = 80

--------

2. We can divide the two numbers

20 ÷ 25 = 0.8

When changed into a percentage, 0.8 would be 80%

-------

Have a good day :)
