In a school of 160 children, 48 took Spanish.
The rest took French.
What percentage of children took French?
To find the percentage of children who took French, we need to subtract the number of children who took Spanish from the total number of children and divide by the total number of children, and then multiply by 100%.
160 total children - 48 children who took Spanish = 112 children who took French.
112 children who took French รท 160 total children = 0.7
0.7 * 100% = 70%
Therefore, 70% of children took French.
To find the percentage of children who took French, we need to determine the number of children who took French.
We know that 48 children took Spanish. To find the number of children who took French, we can subtract this number from the total number of children in the school.
Total number of children in the school = 160
Number of children who took Spanish = 48
Number of children who took French = Total number of children - Number of children who took Spanish
Number of children who took French = 160 - 48 = 112
Now, to find the percentage of children who took French, we can divide the number of children who took French by the total number of children and multiply by 100.
Percentage of children who took French = (Number of children who took French / Total number of children) * 100
Percentage of children who took French = (112 / 160) * 100
Percentage of children who took French = 0.7 * 100 = 70%
Therefore, 70% of the children took French.
