Question

The school's total attendance is 449, there are 81 present in math class, what percent of the total attendance is the attendance in the math class (to the nearest tenth)? 6% 18% 55% 82%

Answer 1

1) Percentage = (Math Class / Total Attendance) x 100

thus.. Percentage = 81 / 449 = 0.18 x 100 = 18%

2. 1/8 x 6 = 6/8ths = 6 pieces of cake

Answer 2

100%/x%=449/81
(100/x)*x=(449/81)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.5432098765432*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5432098765432) to get x
100/5.5432098765432=x
18.04008908686=x
x=18.04008908686
