Question

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.
