In a school of 160 children, 48 took Spanish.

The rest took French.
What percentage of children took French?

1 answer

To find the percentage of children who took French, we need to subtract the number of children who took Spanish from the total number of children and divide by the total number of children, and then multiply by 100%.

160 total children - 48 children who took Spanish = 112 children who took French.
112 children who took French รท 160 total children = 0.7
0.7 * 100% = 70%

Therefore, 70% of children took French.
