Question

there are 200 students in the 8th grade. 40 students are taking art. What percentage of 8th graders at Euclid Middle School are taking art?

Answer 1

20%

Explanation:

You find percentage through division, but this one is easier than most since percentages are always out of 100, so 200/2 and 40/2 means 40 is 20% of 200.
