Question

A class that has 40 students in it were asked whether they wanted to start school at 8:00 am or 7:00 am. Of the students in the class 15 said they wanted to start at 8:00 am. What percentage of the students wanted to start at 7:00 am ?

Answer 1

First identify how many want 7:00. 40 - 15 = 25

25/40 = 0.625
Thus, 62.5% wanted a 7:00 start time.

Answer 2

62.5%
40-15=25
40/25=0.625
