Question

In a particular class of 27 students,17 are men.what fraction of the student in the class are men

Answer 1

$p \% \ of \ 27=17 \\\\ \frac{p}{100}*27=17 \\\\ \frac{p}{100}=\frac{17}{27} \\\\ p=\frac{100*17}{27} \\\\ \boxed{p=\frac{1700}{27}}$

Answer 2

Total students = 27
total men = 17
Now,
Fraction of man in class = total men / total students
                                    = 17 / 27
Since, the fraction can't be further simplified, the answer is $\frac{17}{27}$
