80% of the 6th graders at harrison middle are going on a field trip to the museum. there is a total of 685 students in 6th grade. how many students are going on the field trip?

Sure, let me help you on this one!

In order for us to find a percentage, we need to transform the amount of percent we want to find into decimal form.

80% = 0.8

Then, our job is to multiply that decimal form number by a number we are interested finding percentage in.

In our case, this number is the amount of 6th grades - 685 students.



548 students at the Harrison Middle are going on a field trip to the Museum.
