write as a percent. At the start of the semester, 21 students enrolled in Math 95. Since the last test, two more students dropped the class and now 12 students remain. Find the percent of students who are still in the class. round your answer to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

Hi Carina,

 

Start with the fraction of students who are still in class--> 12/21 which reduces to 4/7

 

Now change into a decimal by dividing 7 into 4--> 0.5714

 

Now change into a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right--> 57%
