Question

24
24 students in a class took an algebra test.

​

​If
18
18 students passed the test, what percent passed?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of students who passed the test, you can use the formula:

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

In this case, 18 students passed out of 24 total students:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{18}{24} \right) \times 100
\]

First, calculate \(\frac{18}{24}\):

\[
\frac{18}{24} = 0.75
\]

Now, multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

\[
0.75 \times 100 = 75
\]

So, 75% of the students passed the test.
