In Jefferson Middle School, 5% of the sixth graders have red hair. If there are 100 sixth graders, how many have red hair?

Question

5
20
50
95

Answer 1

To find out how many sixth graders have red hair at Jefferson Middle School, we can calculate 5% of 100.

5% can be calculated as:

\[ 5% = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05 \]

Now, multiply this percentage by the total number of sixth graders:

\[ 0.05 \times 100 = 5 \]

So, there are 5 sixth graders with red hair. The correct answer is 5.
