30 students in classroom 24 students reading above average. what percentages of the student that is not reading above average?

Answer 1

If you know that 24 students in the class are reading above average, you know that 6 are not.  You know that 6 out of 30 students are not reading above average level, and the question is how to express that as a percent.

 

The equation for percent = (part/whole)(100).

 

In this case, the part of the class that is not reading above average is 6.  The whole is the class, or 30.

 

(6/30)(100)=percent of class not reading above average

 

(.2)(100)=percent of class not reading above average

 

20% of class not reading above average

Answer 2

30 -24 = 6 students not reading above average.      6/30 = 1/5 = .20 = 20%
