Question 83(v)
Observe the following data:
$\begin{array}{ccc}& & \\ & \text{Government School, Chandpur}& \\ \text{Daily attendance}& & \text{Date: 15.04.2009}\\ \text{Class}& \text{Total students}& \text{Number of students}\\ & & \text{present on that day}\\ \text{VI}& \text{90}& \text{81}\\ \text{VII}& \text{82}& \text{76}\\ \text{VIII}& \text{95}& \text{91}\\ \text{IX}& \text{70}& \text{65}\\ \text{X}& \text{63}& \text{62}\end{array}$
What percentage of class VI students were absent?

Answer 1

Total number of students in class VI = 90
Number of students present in class VI = 81
Number of absent students = 90 - 81 = 9
$\therefore$ Precentage of absent students of class $VI=(\frac{\text{Number of absent students}}{\text{Total number of students}}\times 100)\%=(\frac{9}{90}\times 100)\%=10\%$
