Question

In a class, 14 out of 20 students pack their lunches. What percent of students pack their lunches?

Answer 1

That would be 70 percent

Answer 2

Answer:

$70\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.

so

Let

x------> size of the event space

y-----> size of the sample space

so

$P=\frac{x}{y}$

In this problem we have

$x=14$

$y=20$

substitute

$P=\frac{14}{20}=0.70$

Convert to percentage form

$0.70*100=70\%$
