There is 48 students in a 87% class. 7 out of 8 are females
what percent are females.
To find out the percentage of females in the class, we can first calculate the number of female students.
7 out of 8 students are females, so to find the number of females in the class, we can calculate 87% of the total number of students.
87% of 48 students = (87/100)*48 = 41.76
Since we cannot have a fraction of a person, we round up the value to the nearest whole number to get the number of female students: 42.
Therefore, there are 42 female students in the class.
To find the percentage of females, we divide the number of female students by the total number of students and multiply by 100:
Percentage of females = (Number of females / Total number of students) * 100
= (42 / 48) * 100
= 87.5%
Therefore, approximately 87.5% of the students in the class are females.
