There are 1500 students in a school. 65% are girls. how many girls are there in the school?

975 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 65% of 1500, multiply 1500 by .65 (to convert percentages to decimals, just move a decimal point over two spaces).

1500*.65=975

You can check that this answer is right with logic. Most of the students will be girls (more than 50%) and 975 makes up most of 1500.
