Question

The sixth-graders at Scott's school got to choose between a field trip to a museum and a field trip to a factory. 57 sixth-graders picked the museum. If there are 100 sixth-graders in all at Scott's school, what percentage of the sixth-graders picked the museum?

Answer 1

57%

Explanation:

The answer is 57%. The reason is because when we are talking about percentage, it always out of 100. 57 out of 100, you would make that into a fraction so it would be 57/100. You would then divide 57/100 to get 0.57. Move the decimal two places to the right to get 57%.

Answer 2

57%

Explanation:

because percentages go up to a hundred so 57 would be 57%.
