Question

Imagine a stake has 100 youth members. There are 74 girls in the Young Women's program. What percentage of the youth are in the Young Men's program?

Answer 1

Focus on:

There are 100 members total.

74 out of those 100 are women.

Men = 100 - 74

Men = 26

26 out of 100 can be written as 26/100, which equals 26%.

*HINT: when the total number is 100 and you need to find out what percentage the number is out of that 100... move the decimal over two spots to the left. (26.0 -> 2.60 -> 0.260 = 26%)
