In a classroom of 32 students, 14 are male. What percentage of the class is female?

**Note**: To find the percentage of female students, subtract the number of male students from the total number of students and then calculate the percentage.

Step-by-step:

1. Subtract the number of male students from the total number of students:
\[ 32 - 14 = 18 \]

2. Divide the number of female students by the total number of students and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
\[ \left( \frac{18}{32} \right) \times 100 \approx 56.25\% \]

So, 56.25% of the class is female.

first you have to set up your fractions so: 14/32=x/100 you then cross multiply and get: 100*14=32x then you keep solving for x: 1400=32x (then divide both sides by 32) x=43.75 so this means that 43.75 of the class is male so then you subtract that from 100 to get the female percentage: 100-43.75=56.25 so that means 56.25℅ of the class is female

You know that 14/32 are boys. Divide this out and you get 0.4375, move the decimal two places to the right and you get 14/32 = 43.75%. The percentage of boys plus girls must equal 100%, so knowing that is the percentage of boys, 100% minus 43.75% must equal the percentage of girls. 100% - 43.75% = 56.25% so 56.25% is the percentage of girls in the class.

In a class of 32 students with 14 male students, there are 18 female students. This means that about 56.25% of the class is female. Thus, the calculation shows that female students make up a significant portion of the classroom.
