Answer:

93%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total number of student = 300

Number of student that can not drive = 21

Percentage of student that can drive =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of student that can drive. This can be obtained as follow:

Total number of student = 300

Number of student that can not drive = 21

Number of student that can drive =?

Number of student that can drive = (Total number of student) – (Number of student that can not drive)

Number of student that can drive = 300 – 21

Number of student that can drive = 279

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of student that can drive as illustrated below:

Total number of student = 300

Number of student that can drive = 279

Percentage of student that can drive =?

Percentage of student that can drive =

279/300 × 100

= 93%

Thus, 93% of the student can drive.
