Question

There are 60 people at the subway station 12 of them jumped the

turnstile. What percentage of people jumped the turnstile? What
percentage of people paid?​

Answer 1

jumped= 20%

paid= 80%

Explanation:

`(12)/(60)`×100 = 20%

`(48)/(60)`×100 = 80%

Answer 2

20% jumped the turnstile

80% paid

Explanation:

We can calculate the percent of people that jumped it by dividing the number that did by the total:

12/60 = 0.2, which is 20%

If 20% jumped it, then this means 80% paid.
