A train carriage had 4 boys, 13 girls, 2 teachers and a parent. Find the % of adults on the train?

1 answer

There are 2 teachers and 1 parent on the train, so there are 3 adults in total.

To find the percentage of adults on the train, we need to divide the number of adults by the total number of people on the train, and then multiply by 100 to convert the answer to a percentage.

Total number of people on the train = 4 (boys) + 13 (girls) + 2 (teachers) + 1 (parent) = 20

Percentage of adults on the train = (3/20) x 100% = 15%

Therefore, the percentage of adults on the train is 15%.
