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?
To find the percentage of students from the second audition who were asked to come back for the final audition, we first need to determine the number of students who passed the second audition.
Since 40% of the 60 students were asked to come back for a second audition, the number of students who passed the first audition is:
40% of 60 = 0.40 * 60 = 24 students
Out of these 24 students who passed the second audition, 6 were asked to come back for the final audition.
So, the percentage of students from the second audition who were asked to come back for the final audition is:
(6 / 24) * 100%
= 0.25 * 100%
= 25%
Therefore, 25% of the students from the second audition were asked to come back for the final audition.
