Please help! Reagan surveyed a number of her classmates about what time they usually go to bed. Of the fifteen classmates she asked, three said 9 p.m. What percent of the students is this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20%

OpenStudy (mackenzie2013):

Could you explain the steps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you have to devid the # of classmates by how many went to bed at 9 pm. which is .2 and then you have to times .2 by 100 which gives u the percent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Understand?

OpenStudy (mackenzie2013):

Why would it be .2 if it says 3 said 9pm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 devided by 15 = .2 .2 x 100= 20%

OpenStudy (mackenzie2013):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 people out of 15
