Question

If there are 47 boys out of 100 students, what percent of the students are boys?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of students who are boys, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of boys}}{\text{Total number of students}} \right) \times 100
\]

In this case, there are 47 boys out of 100 students. Plugging in the numbers:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{47}{100} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\text{Percentage} = 47\%
\]

Therefore, 47% of the students are boys.
