Answer 1

Let's analyze the data you've provided regarding the GPA of students involved in extracurricular activities:

• Students with a GPA above 3.0: 68
• Students with a GPA below 3.0: 12
• Total students involved in extracurricular activities: 80

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

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

Plugging in the numbers:

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

Now, calculate it:

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

Therefore, 85% of students who are involved in extracurricular activities have a GPA above 3.0.
