Question

Harper surveyed 380 of the students in her school about their favorite color. 57 students said their favorite color was red. What percentage of the surveyed students said their favorite color was red?

Answer 1

There are 380 students surveyed. Also, 57 of the students stated that their favourite colour was red. Hence, we can construct a fraction here, and it would be 57/380. Now, we divide the fraction - like 57 divided by 380 to get a decimal to convert to a percent. As a result, we get 0.15, then we multiply 0.15 by 100 to get 15% as our final answer.
