Question

In a class of 35 students 7 students were absent. What is the percentage of students that were present?

• A. 20%
• B. 30%
• C. 70%
• D. 80%

Answer 1

The correct option is D

80%

If 7 students were absent then 35 - 7 = 28 were present

28 out of 35 means $\frac{28}{35}=\frac{4}{5}$

$=\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{20}{20}$

$=\frac{80}{100}$ = 80% of the students were present
