Out of 25 students 3 were absent. What percent of the students
Were absent
Were present
3 out of 25 were absent... so 3/25 = 0.12 and this is the decimal answer for 3 out of 25... you are asked for the percent so you have to multiply your decimal by 100 to get your percent : )
.12 x 100 = 12% were absent....
Now you try what percent were present : )
To determine the percentage of students who were absent and present, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Find the number of students who were absent.
Given that out of 25 students, 3 were absent, we can subtract the number of absent students from the total number of students to find the number of students who were present.
Number of students absent = 3
Number of students present = Total number of students - Number of students absent = 25 - 3 = 22
Step 2: Calculate the percentage of students who were absent.
To find the percentage, we can use the following formula:
Percentage = (Number of students absent / Total number of students) * 100
Substituting the values, we get:
Percentage of students absent = (3 / 25) * 100 = 12%
Step 3: Calculate the percentage of students who were present.
To find the percentage, we can use the following formula:
Percentage = (Number of students present / Total number of students) * 100
Substituting the values, we get:
Percentage of students present = (22 / 25) * 100 = 88%
So, the answers are:
- 12% of the students were absent.
- 88% of the students were present.
