the percent of girls in the class is %

Hello There!

WHAT WE KNOW  25 students in a class and 16 out of the 25 students in the class are girls. There are 9 boys in the class because "25-9=16"

HOW TO SOLVE If we know that 9 out of the 25 students in the class are girls, we can represent it as the fraction . Next, we divide 35 by 9 to get a quotient of 0.36 and then multiply by 100 to get our percent of girls in the class which is 36%

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

To find the percentage amount of girls in the class, we need to first find the amount of girls in the class.

Since 16 of the 25 students are boys, the rest must be girls. Subtract 16 from 25 to find the amount of girls in class.

25-16=9

Now, to find out what percent of 25 9 is, divide 9 by 25.

9/25= .36

The percentage of girls in the class was 36%.

Hope this helps!
