Question

A group of ninth-grade math teachers collected the data in the table about the grades of students who are involved in extracurricular activities compared to the grades of students who are not involved in extracurricular activities. GPA Above 3.0 GPA Below 3.0 Total Involved in Extracurricular Activities 68 12 80 Not Involved in Extracurricular Activities 22 38 60 Total 90 50 140 What percentage of students who are involved in extracurricular activities have a GPA above 3.0? (1 point) 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, we 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 we can calculate the percentage:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{68}{80} \right) \times 100 = 0.85 \times 100 = 85% \]

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