`840` sixth grade students out of which
`700` Participated in math olympiad

also no of fifth grade students
`=910`

Fifth graders who participated in math olympiad

There are more fifth graders in Olympiad [Numerically]

Percentage wise

Percenteage of sixth graders who participated in Math olympiad
`=(700)/(840)* 100=83.33\ \%`
