Question

Holly missed 8 of 185 school days this year. Approximately what percent of school days was Holly in attendance?

Answer 1

8/185 = 4.3 % 
That is the number of days she missed so she was in attendance

100-4 = 96%

Answer 2

96% if you round. See, 185 minus 8 would be 177. Divide 177 by 185 and it gives you .956 so change that to a percent 96%
