In a class of 60 students,45 students are female. What percentage (%) of the students are male.
25%
im not usually good at math but I looked at it like this:
If you had 60 questions on a test and you got 45 right, what did you get on the test? you would divide 45 into 60 and get 75%. so that out of 100. then ask whats the rest of the percent you need to get to 100? Well 75 +25 is 100 or you could do 60-45=15 then do 15 divided by 60 and get 25% but the answer is 25% of the class is male.
you are correct, but it seems a bit convoluted.
Still, if it helps you sort out the quantities, good job.
To find the percentage of male students in the class, we need to calculate the number of male students and then divide it by the total number of students and multiply by 100.
Given that the total number of students in the class is 60, and 45 of them are female, we can calculate the number of male students by subtracting the number of female students from the total number of students:
Number of male students = Total number of students - Number of female students
Number of male students = 60 - 45
Number of male students = 15
Now, we can calculate the percentage of male students by dividing the number of male students by the total number of students and multiplying by 100:
Percentage of male students = (Number of male students / Total number of students) * 100
Percentage of male students = (15 / 60) * 100
Percentage of male students = 0.25 * 100
Percentage of male students = 25
Therefore, 25% of the students in the class are male.
