Question

Pretest 5. In a group of 250 students, 40 are seniors. What percentage of the group are seniors?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\%seniors = 16\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Students = 250$

$Seniors = 40$

Required

Determine the percentage of seniors

This is calculated as thus;

$\%seniors = \frac{Seniors}{Students} * 100\%$

$\%seniors = \frac{40}{250} * 100\%$

$\%seniors = \frac{4000\%}{250}$

$\%seniors = 16\%$
