Answer:
60%
Explanation:
First, find how many girls are in the class
There are 12 boys. The rest of the 30 students will be girls.
12+g=30
Subtract 12 from both sides to get the variable by itself
12-12+g=30-12
g=18
There are 18 girls.
Now, we have to find the percent.
To do this, divide the part: the girls, by the whole: the entire class
part/whole
girls/class
There are 18 girls, and 30 students in the whole class
18/30
0.6
Convert 0.6 to a percent by multiplying by 100, or moving the decimal place 2 spots to the right
0.6*100=60
0.6--> 6.0--> 60.
So, 60% of the class is made up of girls
