Out of 75 students, 15 are on the student council. What percent are on the student council?
i know the answer is 20%
could you explain the formula or how to calculate this question?
To calculate the percentage of students on the student council, you would first divide the number of students on the student council by the total number of students, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
15 (students on student council) / 75 (total students) = 0.20
0.20 * 100 = 20%
Therefore, 20% of the students are on the student council.
