Answer 1

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the percentage of tickets sold to sixth grade students

percent sold = $\frac{numbersold}{numberof tickets}$ × 100%

                     = $\frac{240}{300}$ × 100% = 80%

Answer 2

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage sold to sixth graders, take the number sold to sixth graders over the total

percentage to sixth graders =  tickets sold to sixth graders/ total tickets

The total tickets are 300

Tickets to sixth graders is 240

Substitute it in

percentage to sixth graders = 240/300

                                               =24/30

                                                =4/5

                                                =.8

Multiply this by 100 to give the percent

80%
