Question

There are 200 end of the year school dance tickets available. Students who have perfect attendance are able to purchase them in advance. If 18 tickets were purchased in advance, then what percent of the tickets were purchased in advanve are able to purchase?

Answer 1

9% of tickets were sold in advance for the dance

Explanation:

In order to find the percent of the tickets purchased in advance, you have to divide the number of tickets already purchased by the total number of tickets.

18 / 200 = 0.09

Now, you will multiply this number by 100 to get the percentage.

0.09 * 100 = 9

9% of the tickets that were purchased in advance are able to purchase.
