Question

27 out of the 36 teachers in a school staff meeting were first-year teachers. What percentage of the teachers in the meeting were first-year teachers?

Answer 1

To find the percentage, we will divide 27 by 36 and multiply the result by 100.

So: 27/36 = 0.75

then, 0.75 * 100 = 75%

So, 75% of the teachers in the school staff meeting were first-year teachers.
