B) 5%
C) 15%
D) 20%

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage of boys students in Jamie's class is 20 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of boys in the Jamie's class = $\frac{1}{5}$ of the total student

Let the total number of student's in the class = x

So, The number of boys =  $\frac{1}{5}$ × x

I.e The number of boys =  $\dfrac{x}{5}$

So , in percentage the number of boys students in class = $\dfrac{\textrm Total number of boy student}{\textrm Total number of students}$ × 100

OR, % boys students = $\dfrac{\dfrac{x}{5}}{x}$ × 100

or, % boys students = $\frac{100}{5}$

∴ % boys students = 20

Hence The percentage of boys students in Jamie's class is 20 %  . Answer
