If 6 out of 36 students were absent, what percent were present?

(36-6)/36 = ?

36-6/36= 30/6 = 5/6

To find the percentage of students who were present, you need to calculate the ratio of the number of students who were present to the total number of students.

In this case, if 6 students were absent, the number of students who were present would be 36 - 6 = 30.

To find the percentage, divide the number of students who were present (30) by the total number of students (36) and then multiply by 100:

(30/36) * 100 = 83.33%

Therefore, approximately 83.33% of the students were present.
