There are 900 students in a school and 540 of the students are boys. What percent of the students are boys.

The fraction represents the 540 students that are boys out of all the students in the school. To find what percent of students are boys, we can turn into a percent.

To turn into a percent, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 540 and 900 using 180.

3 ÷ 5 = 0.6

0.6 × 100 = 60%

Therefore, 60% of the students in the school are boys.

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380
