There are 100 sophomores at a school. 85% of them are good students. What would the percent of good students be at school if (round the answer up to the nearest ones) ten “F” students would come to this school?

Answer: subtract 85 with a hundred because you are trying to see how many students out of 100% are good students after that you should get your answer

Answer:

77% (rounded)

Explanation:

1. Find 85% of 100

100 x 0.85 = 85

SO 85 students out of 100 students are good students.

2. Add the 10 more students to the total number.

100 + 10 = 110 total students

3. Find the percent of good students in the total number of current students.

85/110 = 0.77 * 100 (to convert to percent) = 77%
