A class has 27 students. 18 of the students are girls. What percent are boys?
im not sure
To find the percentage of boys in the class, we need to subtract the number of girls from the total number of students.
Total number of students = 27
Number of girls = 18
To find the number of boys:
Number of boys = Total number of students - Number of girls
Number of boys = 27 - 18
Number of boys = 9
Now, to find the percentage of boys:
Percentage of boys = (Number of boys / Total number of students) * 100%
Percentage of boys = (9 / 27) * 100%
Percentage of boys = 0.3333 * 100%
Percentage of boys ≈ 33.33%
Therefore, approximately 33.33% of the students in the class are boys.
