Question

70 students at a school were asked to complete a survey about the location of their next field trip. 28 students chose the zoo 33 students chose the amusement park. The remaining students did not complete the survey . Which expression gives the percent of survey participants who chose the zoo?

Answer 1

47% because (33/70)x100 =47

Answer 2

Info:

Voted - 70

Voted for zoo - 33

Calculating percentage:

(33/70) * 100 = x

0,47 * 100 = x

47% approx.

Notes:

When finding a percentage, you create a fraction, which we can call a rate, containing the number of actions on top (numerator), and the total of actions below (denominator). Afterwards, we multiply the answer by 100 and round the answer to the closest number, which will be our percentage.
