Question

If there are 19 girls of 30 students, what is the percent of 9 girls?

Answer 1

The percent of 9 girls is 30%

Explanation:

To find the percentage of a number from a total divide the number by the total and then multiply the quotient by 100%

∵ There are 19 girls

∵ The total of the students is 30

- You need to find the percentage of 9 girls from the students,

that means the number is 9 and the total is 30

∵ You need to find the percent of 9 girls

∴ The percent =
`(9)/(30)` × 100%

∵
`(9)/(30)=(3)/(10)`

∵
`(3)/(10)=0.3`

∴ The percent = 0.3 × 100%

∴ The percent = 30%

∴ The percent of 9 girls is 30%
