Answer 1

Answer: 40%

Explanation:

Total students= 240

Dissatisfied students= 96

To get the percentage of sixth grade students that were dissatisfied with the music played in the school, we divide 96 by 240 and multiply the result by 100. This can be written as:

= 96/240 × 100

= 0.4 × 100

= 40%

The percentage represented is 40%
