    28 students in class and 16 are boys what is percent of girls?

    Calculate the number of girls:
    Girls = Total Students - Boys
    Girls = 28 - 16
    Girls = 12

    The percent of girls is found by this formula:
    Percent of Girls = 100 * Number of Girls / Number of Students
    Percent of Girls = 100 * 12 / 28
    Percent of Girls = 1,200 / 28
    Percent of Girls = 42.86%
