Answer 1

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that 1,200 students wore their school colors of green and white.

Also, we are told that 300 students did not wear school colours green and white.

Thus, total number of students = 1200 + 300 = 1500

Thus;

percent of the school population who wore their school colors is; (1200/1500) × 100% = 80%
