If 24 out of 30 pupils in class are present, what percentage of pupils are absent?
6 absent, so 6/30
To find the percentage of pupils that are absent, you can subtract the number of present pupils from the total number of pupils, and then divide that by the total number of pupils and multiply by 100.
The number of absent pupils can be calculated by subtracting 24 from 30:
30 - 24 = 6
To find the percentage of pupils that are absent, divide the number of absent pupils by the total number of pupils, and multiply by 100:
(6/30) * 100 = 20%
Therefore, 20% of the pupils are absent.
To find the percentage of pupils that are absent, we need to calculate the ratio of absent pupils to the total number of pupils and then multiply by 100.
First, we need to determine the number of absent pupils.
Since there are 30 pupils in total and 24 are present, the number of absent pupils would be: 30 - 24 = 6.
Next, we can find the percentage of absent pupils by dividing the number of absent pupils by the total number of pupils and multiplying by 100.
The calculation would be: (6 / 30) * 100 = 0.2 * 100 = 20%.
Therefore, the percentage of pupils that are absent is 20%.
