A math class has 32 students. Fourteen are females. What percent of the class is female?

A. 24.22%

B. 37.25%

C. 43.75%

D. 52.75%

Solution

C. In order to calculate the percent, you need to divide the number of female students by the total number of students. In this case you would divide 14 by 32 to get 0.4375. To change that to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right and add the percent sign to get the correct answer of 43.75%.
