Question

In a classroom there are 15 boys and 13 girls. One of the girls Samantha moved away. What percent of the classroom are girls after Samantha moved.

Answer 1

Answer: 44%

Step-by-step explanation: First, let's add up all the children in the classroom...

15 + 12 = 27

There's 15 boys, therefore have to divide 15 by 27...

15 ÷ 27 = 0.55 x 100 = 55%

Now, let's divided the total amount of girls...

12 ÷ 27 = 0.44 x 100 = 44%

44 + 55 = 99%

The perecent of girls in the classroom are 44%, I hope this helps!
