We are given the table that shows how many students prefer school uniforms and how many do not.

We can see that 16 students do not prefer school uniforms and 4 students do prefer school uniforms. First, let's find the total number of surveyed students.
16 + 4 = 20To find what percent of students do not prefer school uniforms, we will find the fraction of students who do not prefer school uniforms. Then, we will rewrite it as a percent. This fraction has the number of students who do not prefer school uniforms in the numerator and the total number of students in the denominator.
16/20
To write the fraction as a percent, we need to find an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100.
16/20 = x/100
We can multiply 20 by 5 to get 100, so will also multiply 16 by 5 to get an equivalent fraction.
Now we can write the new fraction as a percent by looking at the numerator and adding a percent symbol.
80/100 = 80 %
We found that 80 % of students do not prefer school uniforms. To find the percent of students who do prefer school uniforms, we can subtract 80 % form 100 %.
100 % - 80 % = 20 %
We found that 80 % of students do not prefer school uniforms and 20 % do prefer them.
