if 24 kids took a test and 18 passed the test what is the percent of the kids who passed

1 answer

To find the percentage of kids who passed the test, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of kids who passed}}{\text{Total number of kids}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case:

  • Number of kids who passed = 18
  • Total number of kids = 24

Now plug in the numbers:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{18}{24} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating the fraction:

\[ \frac{18}{24} = 0.75 \]

Now, multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

\[ 0.75 \times 100 = 75 \]

So, 75% of the kids passed the test.
