Divide:
4/7 = 0.571 = 57%
Seven students took a quiz. Four of these students received a score above 85 percent. Students who received at least an 85 percent got a sticker. What percent of the students (rounded to the nearest full percentage number) received a sticker?
A. 59 percent
B. 62 percent
C. 57 percent
D. 60 percent
To find the percentage of students who received a sticker, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of students who received a sticker to the total number of students.
First, let's determine the number of students who received a score above 85 percent. It is given that four students received a score above 85 percent.
Next, we need to find the total number of students. The question states that seven students took the quiz.
Now, we can calculate the percentage of students who received a sticker. Divide the number of students who received a sticker (four) by the total number of students (seven), and multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
(4 / 7) * 100 = 57.14
Rounding to the nearest full percentage, we get 57 percent. Therefore, approximately 57 percent of the students received a sticker.
