Given the statement:
At Marble Middle School, 35% of the students are 6th graders, 32% are 7th graders, and the rest are 8th graders.
Determine the percentage of 8th graders.
Solution:
In order to determine the percentage of 8th graders, we simply need to add the percentage of 6th grades and 7th graders then subtract it by 100%
= 32% + 35%
= 67%
= 100% - 67%
= 33%
Final answer:
33% are 8th graders.
