Question

As part of a survey, 150 students were asked to name their favorite class. 50 points

The results showed that 60 of the students named math as their favorite
class. What percentage of the students in the survey named math as
their favorite class? *
A. 40%
B. 60%
C. 25%
O D. 90%

Answer 1

A:40%
If you put 60 over 150 and x(percent of students) over 100 and cross multiply 100 and 60, you will get 6000. You then divide that by 150 which leaves you with 40 as x and 40 over 100 is 40%.
