In your class, there are 8 girls and 14 boys. What percent of your class is girls?
To find the percentage of girls in the class, we need to divide the number of girls by the total number of students in the class and then multiply by 100.
Number of girls = 8
Number of boys = 14
Total number of students = number of girls + number of boys = 8 + 14 = 22
Percentage of girls in the class = (Number of girls / Total number of students) * 100
= (8 / 22) * 100
= 0.3636 * 100
= 36.36%
Therefore, 36.36% of the class is girls.
To find the percentage of girls in the class, we need to calculate the proportion of girls in the class and then convert it to a percentage.
Step 1: Calculate the proportion of girls in the class.
The total number of students in the class is 8 girls + 14 boys = 22 students.
The proportion of girls in the class is 8 girls / 22 students = 0.36.
Step 2: Convert the proportion to a percentage.
To convert a proportion to a percentage, we multiply it by 100.
0.36 * 100 = 36.
Therefore, 36% of the class is girls.
