Question

There are 150 students at the zoo. 90 of the students visited the gorilla

exhibit. What percent of the students visited the gorilla exhibit? *

Answer 1

`(is)/(of) = (x)/(100)`

`(150)/(90) = (x)/(100)`

150 × 100 = 15,000

90x = 15,000

90 ÷ 90 = 1

15,000 ÷ 90 = 166.6%

I don’t know of the problem wants you to round but the percent would be either 166.6% or 167% (if rounded).

Answer 2

Divide the number that visited the gorilla by the total students at the zoo then multiply by 100

90/150 = 0.6

0.6 x 109 = 60%

The answer is 60%
