In a certain class, 40% of the students are girls, and 20% of the girls wear glasses.
What percent of the children in the class are girls who wear glasses?
Answer (2)
To find out what percent of the children in the class are girls who wear glasses, we first need to determine two percentages:
The percentage of students that are girls, which is given as 40%.
The percentage of these girls who wear glasses, which is 20% of the 40%.
To find the second percentage, we multiply 40% (the percentage of girls) by 20% (the percentage of girls who wear glasses):
0.40 (girls in the class) × 0.20 (girls that wear glasses) = 0.08
0.08 is equal to 8%, so 8% of the students in the class are girls who wear glasses.
In the class, 8% of the children are girls who wear glasses. This is calculated by multiplying 40% (the percentage of girls) by 20% (the percentage of girls who wear glasses). Therefore, 8% of the students are girls who wear glasses.
