Question

If all the members of a team are juniors or seniors, and if the ratio of juniors to seniors on the team is 3:5, what percent of team members are seniors?

Answer 1

Answer:

S = 62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let the junior members be J.
• Let the senior members be S.

Given the following data;

Ratio of J:S = 3:5 = 3 + 5 = 8

To find what percent of team members are seniors;

$S = \frac {5}{8} * 100$

$S = \frac {500}{8}$

S = 62.5%

Additionally, to find what percent of team members are juniors;

J = 100 - S

J = 100 - 62.5

J = 37.5%
