Question

A town has two high schools. The town has only one baseball field. There are 1,000 seats available for students to watch baseball games. All of the 10th grade students at both high schools want to attend a game. The greatest percentage of 10th grade students who will have a seat is
A) 88%.
B) 89%.
C) 97%.
D) 98%.

Answer 1

A=88%
 This Is the answer

Answer 2

First, we need to understand how many total 10th graders there are.
195+261+286+286=1,028
To find percentage a simple division can be done in this case.
The stadium holds 1000 seats that need to be divided among 1,028 students.
1000÷1028=.97
Multiply by 100 for percentage and 97% of the classes can be seated at the ball game.
