Question from K.: I am trying to figure out the percent a student has accomplished some goals. My mind is drawing a complete blank...can you help! Here are the figures I'm looking at making into a percentage: Goal #1: yes=136, no=8 Thank you for your assistance! |
Hi,
You have 144 students and 136 of them have accomplished goal 1 but 8 have not accomplished goal 1. Thus the fraction of students who have accomplished goal 1 is 136/144 = 0.9444. If you want to express this fraction as a percentage multiply by 100 to get 94.44% of the students have accomplished goal 1.
