Question

There are 25 students in a class. 16 of those students are boys. What percent of the class are girls?

The percent of girls in the class is ____ %​

Answer 1

Explanation:

25 students in a class and 16 out of the 25 students in the class are girls. There are 9 boys in the class because "25-9=16"

HOW TO SOLVE If we know that 9 out of the 25 students in the class are girls, we can represent it as the fraction . Next, we divide 35 by 9 to get a quotient of 0.36 and then multiply by 100 to get our percent of girls in the class which is 36%

Answer 2

36 %

Explanation:

9 girls = 36%

25 students = 100
