Well, isn't that a bunch of eighth grade adventurers! So, let's do some math riddles here. If we have 200 eighth graders and 112 of them are joining the field trip, how can we figure out the percentage?
To find the percent, we divide the number going on the field trip (112) by the total number of eighth graders (200) and then multiply the result by 100.
So, let's put on our math clown shoes and crunch some numbers:
(112 ÷ 200) × 100 = 56%
So, the answer is option 3, 56% of the eighth grade is going on the field trip! Now, they better take a clown with them to keep the fun going!
To find the percentage of eighth graders going on the class field trip, you need to divide the number of eighth graders going on the field trip by the total number of eighth graders and then multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
First, divide the number of eighth graders going on the field trip (112) by the total number of eighth graders (200):
112 / 200 = 0.56
Next, multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage:
0.56 * 100 = 56%
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: 56%.
