Question

there were 800 students in a school. 55% of the students in the school were Caucasian and 22% were African American. The rest were Hispanic. What percent of the students were Hispanic?

Answer 1

Step 1: Add the given data of races
55 + 22 = 77

Step 2: Subtract the result from the 100
(Since it is in percentages, a whole percentage is 100, and we need to find percent, so subtract the result from 100)
100
- 77
= 23

23% were Hispanic.
