Holly missed 8 of 181 school days this year. Approximately what percent of school days was Holly in attendance?
To find the percentage of school days Holly was in attendance, we need to calculate the fraction of school days she missed.
Fraction of school days missed = 8 / 181
Now, we need to find the fraction of school days she was in attendance, which is the complement of the fraction of school days she missed.
Fraction of school days attended = 1 - (8 / 181)
= 173 / 181
To find the percentage of school days Holly was in attendance, we need to convert the fraction to a percentage by multiplying by 100:
Percentage of school days attended = (173 / 181) * 100
≈ 95.58%
Therefore, approximately 95.58% of school days, Holly was in attendance.
