Question

Twenty boys signed up for the school play. The number of girls who signed up was 195% of the number of boys. At the auditions, only 26 girls attended. What percent of the girls who signed up for the play attended the auditions?

Answer 1

20 boys signed up
# of girls who signed up was 195% of the number of boys who signed up

Find 195% of 20:

1.95 * 20 = 39

So 39 girls signed up.

To find out what percent of girls who signed up for the play attended the auditions, divide 26 to the total number of girls who signed up:

26 / 39 = 0.666666667

Multiply by 100:

0.666666667 * 100 = 66.6666667%

So approximately 66.67% or 66 2/3%
