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%
