50 students took a test. 24 received a better than average grade. What percent scored above the average?
It tells you how many received a better than average grade so...
24/50= *100
The answer is 48%.
Robert is saying that you divide 24 by 50 to get 0.48.
Then, he says "*100", which he means to multiply 100 and 0.48 to get 48.
Finally, the 48 is 48% practically.
thank you two so much! is it possible to show the work? I am really terrible at math. :/ sorry
You are welcome, mary d. You can do something like what I did below for your answer, or do a different answer based on what they want.
Say something like this(you can turn this into sentences):
24/50 = 0.48 - say something like this: 24 divided by 50, and you get 0.48.
0.48 * 100 = 48 or 48% - say something like this: 0.48 times 100 to get 48 or 48%.
Your final answer could be something like this:
Finally, your final answer is 48%.
All of your answer in sentences could be something like this:
In order to solve this problem, you first divide 24 by 50 to get 0.48. Next, you multiply 0.48 and 100 together to get 48. Finally, the percent of students that scored above average is 48%.
Hope this helps you! :) :)
To find the percentage of students who scored above the average grade, we need to determine the average grade first.
Step 1: Add up the grades of all 50 students.
Step 2: Divide the sum by the total number of students (50) to find the average grade.
Step 3: Count the number of students who received a grade better than the average (24).
Step 4: Divide the number of students with better-than-average grades by the total number of students (50).
Step 5: Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
Let's calculate it step by step:
Step 1:
Assuming we have the individual grades of all 50 students, you need to add them up. Let's say the sum of all the grades is 250.
Step 2:
Divide the sum of all the grades (250) by the total number of students (50):
Average grade = 250 / 50 = 5.
Step 3:
We know that 24 students received a better than average grade.
Step 4:
Divide the number of students who received a better than average grade (24) by the total number of students (50):
24 / 50 = 0.48.
Step 5:
Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage:
0.48 * 100 = 48%.
Therefore, 48% of the students scored above the average grade.
