Answer 1

Answer:

More than 10% of Gillway students earned honors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the number of students who earned honors

43 + 17 = 60

Step 2: Find the total number of students

381 + 108 = 489

Step 3: Find the percentage of students who earned honors

Students who earned honors/Total students x 100

60/489 x 100

12.27%

Step 4: Find the correct answer

Just under 11% of Gillway students earned  honors.

This is incorrect since the percentage is more than 11%.

Just over 11% of Gillway students earned honors.

This is incorrect as just over 11% would mean somewhere between 11 and 12% whereas the actual percentage is just over 12%.

More than 10% of Gillway students earned honors.

This is correct as compared to all other statements since 12.27% is more than 10%.

Almost 11% of Gillway students earned  honors.

This is incorrect since almost 11% means less than 11% whereas the actual percentage is more than 11%.
