Question

fifty of 150 students wear school spirit t-shirts.

Answer 1

To find the percentage of students who wear school spirit t-shirts, you can use the formula:

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

In this case, 50 students wear t-shirts out of 150 students.

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{50}{150} \right) \times 100
\]

Now, calculate the fraction:

\[
\frac{50}{150} = \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.3333
\]

Now multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

\[
0.3333 \times 100 \approx 33.33
\]

Therefore, approximately **33.33%** of the students wear school spirit t-shirts.
