24 students in a class took an algebra test. ​If 18 students passed the test, what percent passed?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of students who passed the test, you can use the following 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 a total of 24 students. Plugging in these numbers:

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

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

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

Now multiply by 100:

\[ 0.75 \times 100 = 75 \]

Therefore, the percentage of students who passed the test is 75%.
