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.

Fraction of students who were present $=\frac{28}{35}=\frac{4}{5}$

Percentage of students that were present $=\frac{4}{5}\times 100\%$

$=80\%$
