Question

There are 225 students at March middle school. On Friday, 135 students wore spirit shirts. What percent of the students did Not wear spirit shirts on Friday?

Answer 1

40%

Explanation:

To find the answer to this, you first can find out what percentage of students did wear spirit shirts. To do this you can divide 135 by 225 to give you 0.6. To convert the decimal into a percentage you can simply multiply by 100, giving you 60%. Then to find the percentage of students that did not wear spirit shirts, you can subtract 60 from 100, giving you 40%.
