There are 205 students in the middle school. If 41 students are girls in 8th grade, what percent of the middle school do the girls in 8th grade represent?
100 (41/205) = 20%
thank you
You're welcome.
To find the percentage of girls in 8th grade out of the total middle school population, you need to divide the number of girls in 8th grade by the total number of students in the middle school, and then multiply the result by 100.
1. Start by determining the number of girls in 8th grade: 41 students.
2. Next, find the total number of students in the middle school: 205 students.
3. Divide the number of girls in 8th grade by the total number of students in the middle school: 41 / 205.
4. Calculate the decimal result: 0.2.
5. Finally, multiply the decimal result by 100 to obtain the percentage: 0.2 * 100 = 20%.
Therefore, the girls in 8th grade represent 20% of the middle school.
