Mrs. leal sponsors The Spanish club at Central middle school. The club has eight members who are sixth graders, 12 members who are seventh graders and 10 members who are eighth graders what percent of the Spanish club members are seventh graders.
There are thirty members, twelve of whom are in seventh grade, so 12/30 expressed as a percentage is what? Go down to 2/5 which is 4/10 which is 40%.
To find the percentage of seventh graders in the Spanish club, we need to determine the ratio of seventh graders to the total number of members and then convert it into a percentage.
Step 1: Find the total number of members in the Spanish club.
The number of sixth graders = 8
The number of seventh graders = 12
The number of eighth graders = 10
Total members = number of sixth graders + number of seventh graders + number of eighth graders
Total members = 8 + 12 + 10 = 30
Step 2: Find the number of seventh graders as a proportion of the total members.
Proportion of seventh graders = (Number of seventh graders / Total members) * 100
Proportion of seventh graders = (12 / 30) * 100
Proportion of seventh graders = 0.4 * 100
Proportion of seventh graders = 40%
Therefore, 40% of the Spanish club members are seventh graders.
