Shana recently led efforts to clean up the city park for the kids and efforts to provide home and yard repair or cleaning for individuals who needed assistance.
Of the 80 volunteers who showed up to help with the city park clean-up one Saturday, 60% returned a second Saturday to help with the community outreach service day to the elderly or disabled.
After this second Saturday, 6 of the volunteers signed up to continue helping with the community outreach service day once a month.

B 10%10%
C 7.5%7.5%
D 12.5%
The correct response is D) 12.5%.
Out of the 80 volunteers who showed up for the city park clean-up, 60% returned for the community outreach service day.
60% of 80 is 0.6 x 80 = 48 volunteers.
Out of the 48 volunteers who returned for the community outreach service day, 6 signed up to continue helping once a month.
To find the percentage of volunteers who signed up to continue helping, you divide 6 by 48 and then multiply by 100.
(6/48) x 100 = 0.125 x 100 = 12.5%
Therefore, 12.5% of the volunteers who showed up for the second Saturday community outreach service day signed up to continue helping once a month.
