Answer:
20% of the children are absent
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of children absent = 9
Total children in the class = 45
Percent of absent children / total children is defined as the quotient 9/45 multiplied by 100. That is;
[tex]\frac{9}{45} \,*\,100 = 0.2 \,*\,100=20\,%[/tex]
SO the percentage is 20%
