Question

There are 1,295 students attending a small university.There are 714 women enrolled. What percent of the students are women. Equation 1295*p=714
Thanks

Answer 1

If 1295 × p = 714, then you can rearrange the equation to find the percentage.

You have to get p on its own, so you divide 1295 on both sides of the '='.

1295 × p = 714

p = 714 ÷ 1295

p = 0.55135135135...

p × 100 = actual percentage

actual percentage = 55.14%
