Question

Of the 100 children in the sixth grade

class, 76 can go on the end-of-the-year
field trip. What percentage of the
children can go on the trip?​

Answer 1

The correct answer would be 76 percent

Answer 2

Answer: 76%

Any number out of 100 can be quickly converted to percent form by just tacking on the percent sign. This is because "percent" is "per one hundred". Think of 100 cents in a dollar which may help you remember.

So 76/100 = 76%
