Question

Of the 60 students who auditioned in a singing contest, 40% were asked to come back for a second audition. After the second audition, 6 students were asked to come back for a final audition.

What percentage of the students from the second audition were asked to come back for the final audition? (1 point)

A. 4%

B. 10%

C. 15%

D. 25%

Answer 1

B. 10%

To calculate this, first determine how many students were asked to come back for a final audition after the second audition. 40% of 60 is 24 students, so 24 students were asked to come back for a second audition. Therefore, out of these 24 students, 6 were asked to come back for a final audition. To calculate the percentage, divide 6 by 24 and multiply by 100 to get 25%.
