Question

In an athletics team there are 60 members. 24 of them are girls. What percentage are girls?

Answer 1

To determine the percentage of girls on the team, you have to divide the number of girls by the total members of the team and multiply the result by 100:

`\frac{nº\text{girls}}{nº\text{members}}\cdot100=(24)/(60)\cdot100=0.4\cdot100=40\%`

The percentage of girls on the team is 40%
