To find the percentage of seventh graders in the Spanish club at Central Middle School, we need to divide the number of seventh graders by the total number of club members and then multiply by 100. Here's how to calculate it:
Step 1: Add up the number of members in each grade level:
- There are 8 members who are sixth graders.
- There are 12 members who are seventh graders.
- There are 10 members who are eighth graders.
- Total number of club members = 8 + 12 + 10 = 30.
Step 2: Calculate the percentage of seventh graders:
- Number of seventh graders = 12.
- Percentage of seventh graders = (Number of seventh graders / Total number of club members) × 100.
- Percentage of seventh graders = (12 / 30) × 100.
- Percentage of seventh graders ≈ 0.4 × 100.
- Percentage of seventh graders ≈ 40%.
Therefore, approximately 40% of the Spanish club members are seventh graders.
