To find the percentage of students who are involved in extracurricular activities and 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
  • Total number of students involved in extracurricular activities = 80

Now, plug in the values into the formula:

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

Calculating the fraction:

\[ \frac{68}{80} = 0.85 \]

Now convert to percentage:

\[ 0.85 \times 100 = 85% \]

Thus, of the students that are involved in extracurricular activities, 85% have a GPA above 3.0.
