In a class of 36 students, 12 were absent on a Friday. What percent of the class was absent? what percent was present?


                    .33 12/36 = .33 1/3 = 33 1/3 %
         12/36 =  36)12.00
                  12 0
                   1 00
                     78
                     12

what percent was present? 

100% - % = %
