Answer: it is easiest if you first find the percent of people present. To do this, divide 1200/1500. This equals 80%. If there is 80% of students present, there needs to be 20% of students absent because it is out of 100% of students
Answer:
20%
Explanation:
Total number of students = 1500
Number of students present = 1200
Number of students absent = Total number of students - number of students present
Number of students absent = 1500 - 1200 =300
%number of students absent = 300 / 1500 * 100 = 20%
