There are 45 children in a class. If 9 of them are absent, what
percentage of the class is absent?

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = 45

Absentees = 9

Percentage  = (No. of absentees / total) × 100

                    = 9 / 45 × 100

                    = 0.2 × 100

                    = 20%

20% of the children are absent
