What percentage of students who are involved in extracurricular activities have a GPA above 3.0?

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

Answer 1

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, the number of students involved in extracurricular activities with a GPA above 3.0 is 68, and the total number of students involved in extracurricular activities is 80.

Now, plug in the values:

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

Calculating the percentage:

\[ \text{Percentage} = 0.85 \times 100 = 85% \]

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