ScanSolve AI Tutor · Accepted Answer

To calculate a percentage, you need a "part" and a "whole". From the image, we have counts for boys and girls. Let's calculate the percentage of boys out of the total number of students.

Determine the total number of students.
You have 7 boys and 9 girls.
$\text{Total students} = 7 \text{ (boys)} + 9 \text{ (girls)} = 16$
Identify the part you want to express as a percentage.
Let's calculate the percentage of boys. The part is 7 (boys).
Use the percentage formula.
The formula for calculating a percentage is:
$\text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \times 100\%$
Substitute the values and calculate.
$\text{Percentage of Boys} = \frac{7}{16} \times 100\%$ $\text{Percentage of Boys} = 0.4375 \times 100\%$ $\text{Percentage of Boys} = 43.75\%$
The percentage of boys is $\boxed{43.75\%}$ .
