The correct answer is D) 20%. To find the percentage, divide the number of boys (15) by the total number of students in the class and then multiply by 100:
(15 / total number of students) x 100
= (15 / total number of students) x 100
= (15 / total number of students) x 100
= 0.15 x 100
= 15
So, 15% of the students in Jamie's class are boys.
To find the percentage of boys in Jamie's class, you need to divide the number of boys by the total number of students and multiply by 100.
Here's the step-by-step calculation:
1. Calculate the percentage:
Percentage = (Number of boys / Total number of students) * 100
2. Substitute the values:
Percentage = (15 / Total number of students) * 100
Since the total number of students is not provided, we can't determine the exact percentage. Please provide the total number of students in Jamie's class to find the percentage.
