Hello There!WHAT WE KNOW  25 students in a class and 16 out of the 25 students in the class are girls. There are 9 boys in the class because "25-9=16"HOW TO SOLVE If we know that 9 out of the 25 students in the class are girls, we can represent it as the fraction [tex]\frac{9}{25}[/tex]. Next, we divide 35 by 9 to get a quotient of 0.36 and then multiply by 100 to get our percent of girls in the class which is 36%HAVE A GREAT DAY!
