Question

Student out of 40 students in class are absent What percentage of the students are absent?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

You have'nt mentioned how many students are absent. I assume that 1 student is absent out of 40. So fraction of absent students become (1/40) as one is absent out of 40. No to make its percentage we will use

formula =(absent students/ total students ) x 100

= (1/40)x100

=(1/4)x10

=0.25x10

=2.5%

◉Its pretty simple

• Total Students = 40

• Absent = 4

• Students Present = 40 - 4 = 36

Now Coming to calculating percentage, always remember that Numerator will always be the term whose percentage is to be found and the denominator will be the total commodity available. And the resultant is to be multiplied by 100.

• therefore, percentage of students present = 36/40 x 100

• Simplifying the above term = 9/10 x 100 = 90%

• Similarly % of absent students = 4/40 x 100 = 10%.
