Answer 1

Hey there!☺

`Answer:\boxed{65\%}`

`Explanation:`

Out of the 40 students, 14 are male. To find the amount of females, you have to subtract the amount of males from the amount of total students.

`40-14=26`

That means there are 26 females. To find the percentage of female students, you have to divide the amount of females by the total number of students.

`26/40=0.65`

You have to change 0.65 as a percentage by moving the decimal point two places to the right.

`0.65=65\%`

`65\%` is your answer.

Hope this helps!☺
