पर्याय

Answer 1

The attendance percentage of this country of the age group of 14 and 15 years is 80 percent.

Explanation:

To find the net attendance ratio (percentage) for the 14 and 15 age group, divide the number of children attending school in that group by its total population and multiply by 100:

Attendance percentage = `("Net attendance for 14-15"/"Total population for 14-15")xx100`

= `(800/1000)xx100`

= 80%
