Question

In a class of 25 students, 15 students passed a math test. What is the percentage of students who passed the test?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of students who passed the math 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, the number of students who passed is 15, and the total number of students is 25. Plugging in these values:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{15}{25} \right) \times 100
\]

Now, calculate the fraction:

\[
\frac{15}{25} = 0.6
\]

Next, multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:

\[
0.6 \times 100 = 60
\]

Therefore, the percentage of students who passed the math test is \( \boxed{60} \).
