Well, if I’m a class there are 30 students and in that class 12 of the students are girls, then, what percentage are the girls?
Well, to since this question, we can first put this as a fraction and then solve for the percentage so, let’s do that.
12 girls/30 students
= 12 divided by 30
= 0.4
= 40%
So, in conclusion, if in a class there are 30 students and 12 of the students are girls then, 40% of the class are girls while the other 60% of the class are boys.
