Question

If 30 of the 36 students of a class were present on a certain day. What percentage of students were absent?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Our required % is 16.67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of students 36

Number of students present = 30

Number of students absent = 36-30 =6

So, percentage of absent students

(6÷36)×100

=100÷6

= 16.67%

Hence, our required % is 16.67%.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage of no. of absent students is 16.7 %

6/36 × 100 = 16.7 %

percentage of no. of present students is 83.33 %

30/36 × 100 = 83.33 %
