Answer
Find out the percentage of students from the north side of the city in the program .
To prove
Formula
[tex]Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}[/tex]
As given
A magnet school program was set up to bring in students from all over the city. With the first 112 students .
the magnet program had 50% from the south side of town, 12.5% from the north side l, and 37.5% from the east side.
12 .5 % is written in the decimal form.
[tex]= \frac{12.5}{100}[/tex]
= 0.125
North side student be = 0.125 × 112
= 14
As given
If 6 more student from the north side and 2 students from the west side side enrolled in the program .
than north side student becomes = 14 + 6
= 20
Total number of student becomes = 112 + 6 + 2
= 120
put in the above formula
[tex]Percentage =\frac{20\times100}{120}[/tex]
[tex]Percentage =\frac{2000}{120}[/tex]
= 16.66% (approx)
Therefore 16.66% (approx) students from the north side of the city in the program .
