Example Question #142 : Concepts

85 is what percent of 400?

Possible Answers:

$22 \frac{1}{2} \%$

$21 \frac{1 }{4} \%$

$27\frac{1}{2} \%$

$19\frac{1}{2} \%$

$23 \frac{3}{4} \%$

Correct answer:

$21 \frac{1 }{4} \%$

Explanation:

Set up the proportion statement, where is our answer, and solve:

$\frac{p}{100} = \frac{85}{400}$

$\frac{p}{100} \cdot 100 = \frac{85}{400} \cdot 100$

$p = \frac{85 \cdot 100}{400} = \frac{85 }{4} = 21 \frac{1 }{4} \%$

Example Question #142 : Arithmetic

In a class of 120 students, 108 of them decide to attend a field trip. What percent of the students do not attend the field trip?

Possible Answers:

90%

88%

10%

12%

Correct answer:

10%

Explanation:

If 108 students attend the field trip, 12 students do not.

120-108=12

To find the percent of students not attending the field trip, divide the number of students not attending by the total number of students, and then multiply that result by 100%.

$\frac{12}{120}=\frac{1}{10}=0.10$

$0.10\times 100\%=10\%$

Example Question #37 : Decimals

Below is the list of candidates for Student Council president, along with the number of votes each won:

$\begin{matrix} \textrm{\underline{Student}} &\textrm{\underline{Votes}} \\ \textrm{Kerry}\; \; \; & 95\\ \textrm{Quinn}\; \; \;& 73\\ \textrm{Fellows}\; &54 \\ \textrm{Bester}\; \; & 48\\ \textrm{Jarrow}\; & 29 \end{matrix}$

What percent of the students voted for neither Kerry nor Quinn (nearest tenth)?

Possible Answers:

$36.2 \%$

$56.2 \%$

$46.2 \%$

$43.8 \%$

$53.8 \%$

Correct answer:

$43.8 \%$

Explanation:

95+73+54+48+29= 299 students total voted. Out of those, 54 + 48 + 29 = 131 voted for a candidate other than Kerry or Quinn. To convert this to a percent, use this proportion and solve for :

$\frac{p }{100}= \frac{131}{299}$

$\frac{p }{100} \cdot 100= \frac{131}{299} \cdot 100$

$p = \frac{13,100}{299} \approx 43.8 \%$

Possible Answers:

0.6

0.06

0.006

0.0006

Correct answer:

0.006

Explanation:

Percent means "per one hundred" or "divided by one hundred". To convert a percentage to a decimal we should move the decimal point two places to the left. So we can write:

$\frac{3}{5}=0.6$

So we get:

$0.6\%$ =0.006
