Question

Out of 360 students, 315 went on the class field trip. What percent of students did not go on the class field trip.

Answer 1

Answer:

$12.5%$

Step-by-step explanation:

did not go on the class field trip = 360 -315 = 45.

$\frac{45}{360} * 100\\\frac{1}{8} * 100=\frac{25}{2} = 12.5%$

Answer 2

315 did

therefore

360-315=45 didnt

45/360 students didnt go on the trip

so to turn this into a percentage, just multiply this fraction by 100:

45/360*100 = 12.5%
