Question

50 students took a test. 24 received a better than average grade. What percent scored above the average?

Answer 1

It tells you how many received a better than average grade so...
24/50= *100

Answer 2

The answer is 48%.

Answer 3

Robert is saying that you divide 24 by 50 to get 0.48.

Then, he says "*100", which he means to multiply 100 and 0.48 to get 48.

Finally, the 48 is 48% practically.

Answer 4

thank you two so much! is it possible to show the work? I am really terrible at math. :/ sorry

Answer 5

You are welcome, mary d. You can do something like what I did below for your answer, or do a different answer based on what they want.

Say something like this(you can turn this into sentences):

24/50 = 0.48 - say something like this: 24 divided by 50, and you get 0.48.

0.48 * 100 = 48 or 48% - say something like this: 0.48 times 100 to get 48 or 48%.

Your final answer could be something like this:

Finally, your final answer is 48%.

All of your answer in sentences could be something like this:

In order to solve this problem, you first divide 24 by 50 to get 0.48. Next, you multiply 0.48 and 100 together to get 48. Finally, the percent of students that scored above average is 48%.

Hope this helps you! :) :)
