Question

If there are 350 boys in a school with a total of 800 students, then what percent of the students are girls?

Answer 1

56.25% are girls

Explanation:

Given there are 350 boys out of a total of 800, then

number of girls = 800 - 350 = 450 , thus percentage of girls is

`(450)/(800)` × 100%

=
`(450(100))/(800)` = 56.25%

Answer 2

56.25%

Explanation:

800 - 350 = 450

1% of 800 = 8 (800 divided by 100)

450 divided by 8 = 56.25
