You need to use this equation: part of the whole = percentage x whole (simpler, it is a=pw) In this case, it would be 320 = p x 750 Because p is the percentage we are trying to find. You would then divide both sides by 750 to isolate p. 320 divided by 750 is 0.4266, and rounding to the nearest tenth it would be 0.43. Now your equation is 0.43 = p To make it a percentage you move the decimal to the right two times. That makes your equation 43 =p So 43% of the people at the football game are not students.
