Answer:

6%

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 90 + 60 = 150
  2. 7 + 2 = 9
  3. Set up a proportion: [tex]\frac{9}{150} = \frac{x}{100}[/tex]  
  4. Cross multiply, then divide: 9 × 100 = 900, 900 ÷ 150 = 6
  5. So, 6% of students in 6th grade were left-handed

I hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation: Ok so if there are 90 girls and 7 are left handed u  use this method 6/90 multiply by 100 and u get 7.77%
