Answer 1

To find the percentage of students who are involved in extracurricular activities that have a GPA above 3.0, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of students with GPA above 3.0}}{\text{Total number of students involved in extracurricular activities}} \right) \times 100
\]

From the table:

- Number of students involved in extracurricular activities with a GPA above 3.0: 68
- Number of students involved in extracurricular activities with a GPA below 3.0: 12

First, calculate the total number of students involved in extracurricular activities:

\[
\text{Total} = 68 + 12 = 80
\]

Now, use the formula to find the percentage:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{68}{80} \right) \times 100 = 85\%
\]

Therefore, the percentage of students who are involved in extracurricular activities and have a GPA above 3.0 is **85%**.
