Question

1. Mrs. Verner's class has

a total of 15 students. If 8
of them are girls, what
percentage are boys?

Answer 1

46.7%

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of students in Mrs. Verner's class = 15

Number of girls = 8

To find: percentage are boys

Solution:

Percentage of boys = ( Number of boys / Total number of students ) × 100

Number of boys = Total number of students - Number of girls = 15 - 8 = 7

So,

Percentage of boys =
`(7)/(15)` × 100 = 46.7%
