Question

Picture chart is below

The following pie chart represents how many absences the students of Washington Middle School had during the first quarter. What percentage of the students had three or more absences during the first quarter?



Thanks for all correct answers

Answer 1

11%

Explanation:

this is simple because there are 4 parts of the pie chart, and we are given 3. the one we don't know we will call x. Since its percents, we know that all of the percents will add up to 100, so we can write an equation.

45 + 23 + 21 + x = 100

to solve, you can subtract 45, 23, and 21 from both sides and you are left with x = 11 which is your solution for how many students had 3 or more absences.

hope it helps!
