The two-way table shows the number of fourth and fifth graders who do or do not have a savings account.
What percent of fourth graders have a savings account?
%
Savings account No savings account
4th graders 7 3
5th graders 12 5
I believe the answer is 26% you add them all up and you get 27 then divide 7 into 27 and you get 0.259 then round am I correct?
we are only interested in the 4th graders.
7/10 = 70%
To find the percentage of fourth graders who have a savings account, follow these steps:
1. Add up the number of fourth graders who have a savings account: 7.
2. Add up the total number of fourth graders: 7 (those with a savings account) + 3 (those without a savings account) = 10.
3. Divide the number of fourth graders who have a savings account by the total number of fourth graders: 7 / 10 = 0.7.
4. Multiply the resulting decimal by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.7 x 100 = 70%.
Therefore, the correct answer is 70%, not 26%.
