5. There are 28 students in a class. Sixteen of those students are men. What percent of the class are women?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 multiply 12,800 x 15 = 192,000 then divide 192,000 by 100 = 1,920 so the answer is $ 1,920

2 He paid $7200 for the wrecked car which is about 65% of the original price.

3Hence, interest over a year is $ 37.7 or 3770 cents.

4 The student answered 16 problems correctly on a math test that had 20 problems.

5 Total students in the class = 28

Number of students that are men = 16

Number of student that are women = 28 - 16 = 12

percentage of women in the class = 12 / 28 × 100

percentage of women in the class = 1200 / 28

percentage of women in the class = 42.8571428571

percentage of women in the class ≈ 42.9 %
