Answer:

78% of the children can swim

Explanation:

There are 50 children, 11 of them cannot swim. The fraction of children that cannot swim is 11/50. We have to change that into a percentage.

11/50 x 2 will equal our percentage

11 x 2 = 22

50 x 2 = 100

22/100 or 22%

We have the percentage of the children who cannot swim, now we have to find the percentage of children who can swim.

100% - 22% = 78%

I Hope That This Helps! :)
