Answer:
80%
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add the given data
588 + 147 = 735
Step 2: Divide the number of students who bought a school shirt by the total number of students
588 ÷ 735
= [tex]\frac{735}{588}[/tex]
= 0.8
Step 3: Convert the decimal to fraction
0.8 = 80% (Move the zero 1 place behind the number and remove the ".")
Or
0.8 × 100 = 80%
Therefore, 80% of students bought a school shirt.
