Question

Mr. Coleman has 30 students in his science class. He noticed that 27 of those students use backpacks to carry their books.

What percent of the students in Mr. Coleman's class use backpacks to carry their books?

Answer 1

The answer is %90.

If 27 out of 30 students use backpacks to carry books %90 of the class uses backpacks to carry books

Answer 2

90%

Explanation:

Calculate the percentage as

(number with backpacks ) ÷ (total students in class ) × 100% , that is

`(27)/(30)` × 100%

=
`(9)/(10)` × 100%

= 0.9 × 100% = 90%
