The correct Answer is:
To find the percentage of girls in the class, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the number of girls in the class. - Total students = 20 - Number of boys = 5 - Number of girls = Total students - Number of boys - Number of girls = 20 - 5 = 15 ### Step 2: Use the percentage formula. The formula to calculate the percentage is: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of girls}}{\text{Total students}} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula. - Number of girls = 15 - Total students = 20 \[ \text{Percentage of girls} = \left( \frac{15}{20} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the fraction. \[ \frac{15}{20} = 0.75 \] ### Step 5: Multiply by 100 to get the percentage. \[ 0.75 \times 100 = 75 \] ### Final Answer: The percentage of girls in the class is **75%**. ---
