Question

A swimming class has 20 students. Only 8 students know how to dive off

the diving board. What percent of the students know how to dive off the
diving board?

Answer 1

Answer: 40%

Explanation:

To write 8/20 as a percent have to remember that 1 equal 100% and that what you need to do is just to multiply the number by 100 and add at the end symbol % . 8/20 * 100 = 0.4 * 100 = 40% And finally we have: 8/20 as a percent equals 40%
