Question

A survey at your school found that 842 of 989 student have a cell phone. What percent of the students has a cell phone? Round to the nearest hundredth where necessary

Answer 1

To find the percentage of students who have a cell phone, divide the number of students with cell phones (842) by the total number of students (989):

842 / 989 = 0.851

To convert this decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100:

0.851 * 100 = 85.1%

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the percentage of students with a cell phone is 85.1%.
