To find the percentage of students who wore a silly hat, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of students who wore a hat}}{\text{Total number of students}} \right) \times 100
\]
In this case, the number of students who wore a silly hat is 576, and the total number of students is 960.
Now, plug the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{576}{960} \right) \times 100
\]
First, calculate \( \frac{576}{960} \):
\[
\frac{576}{960} = 0.6
\]
Next, multiply by 100 to convert it into a percentage:
\[
0.6 \times 100 = 60
\]
Thus, 60% of the students wore a silly hat.
