fifty-six out of 128 students went on a trip during vacation. what percent of students went on trips?

Sagot :

Set up a proportion, where x = the percentage:

[tex]\frac{56}{128}=\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

Then, cross multiply and solve to isolate the x:

[tex]\frac{56}{128}=\frac{x}{100}\\128x=5600\\x=5600/128\\x=43.75[/tex]

So, 43.75% of the students went on trips.
