Mr. Drummond’s class has 24 students. Monday there were 3 students absent. What percent of the class were absent? (1 point)

24 divided by 3 equals 8, so it’s one eighth- in a percentage that’s 12.5%. Hope this helps!

It's like discovering the answer to a puzzle. the purpose in solving an equation is to find the value or values of the variable that makes it a true statement. any value of the variable that makes the equation true is called a solution to the equation.
