Question

Ms. Van Tress has 134 students. She sees 38 students before lunch and 96 students after lunch.

What percentage of her students does she see before lunch? After lunch? (Round your answers to
the nearest whole number percent)

Answer 1

`\%Percent = 28\%` ---- Before Lunch

`\%Percent = 72\%` --- After Lunch

Explanation:

Given

`Total = 134`

`Before\ Lunch = 38`

`After\ Lunch = 96`

Required

Determine the percentage of students seen in both cases.

This percentage is calculated by dividing the number of students seen by the total number of students. Then multiplied by 100%

i.e

`\%Percent = (Seen)/(Total) * 100\%`

- Before Lunch;

`\%Percent = (Before\ Lunch)/(Total) * 100\%`

`\%Percent = (38)/(134) * 100\%`

`\%Percent = (3800\%)/(134)`

`\%Percent = 28\%` --- approximated

- After Lunch;

`\%Percent = (After\ Lunch)/(Total) * 100\%`

`\%Percent = (96)/(134) * 100\%`

`\%Percent = (9600\%)/(134)`

`\%Percent = 72\%` --- approximated
