Question

Holly missed 6 of 183 school days this year. Approximately what percent of school days was Holly in attendance?

Answer 1

First you need to know how many days Holly attended school. What would that be?

Answer 2

177 days

Answer 3

Then, you know that if Holly attended 183 / 183 days it would be 100%.

So we'll go from there.

Take the number of days Holly did attend, and set that over 183.
So then we have the problem of:

177/183 that answer is 0.96721311.

Now, do you know how to convert a decimal to a percent?

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

Cool. Then you should have your answer :)
