Of the 25 students on a field trip, 16 students bring cameras. What percent of the students bring cameras?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of students bringing cameras, you can use the formula:

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

In this case, there are 16 students with cameras out of a total of 25 students. Plugging in the numbers:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{16}{25} \right) \times 100 \]

Now, do the division:

\[ \frac{16}{25} = 0.64 \]

Next, multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage:

\[ 0.64 \times 100 = 64 \]

Therefore, 64% of the students bring cameras.
