Question

Of 250 seventh grade students, 130 walk to school. What percent of seventh graders do not walk to school? % of seventh graders do not walk to school.

​

Answer 1

48%

Explanation:

I like to look at percentages as test grades. If you got a 130/250 on a test, you would simply need to view the dash line as a 'divided by'. So you would figure 130 divided by 250 is .52, or 52%... Then, you would need to subtract 52 from 100 to get 48% to get the percentage of people who do not walk to school.

Answer 2

48%

48% of 250 is 120

120+130=250
