To find the percentage of graduating students who will go to Wilson High School, you need to divide the number of students going to Wilson High School by the total number of graduating students, and then multiply the result by 100.
So, in this case, you would divide 198 (the number of students going to Wilson High School) by 360 (the total number of graduating students), and then multiply the result by 100.
Mathematically:
Percentage = (Number of students going to Wilson High School / Total number of graduating students) * 100
Plugging in the given values:
Percentage = (198 / 360) * 100
Now, we can calculate it:
Percentage = 0.55 * 100 = 55
Therefore, 55% of the graduating students will go to Wilson High School.
