Answer 1

Answer:

remember when we're finding a percent, we set it up with is over of and multiply that times 100. So we're talking about 12 out of 20. We're going to multiply that times 100. So if I divide 12 divided by 20 is going to give us 200.6 0.6 times. 100 gives us 60% so 60% of the class are boys.
