Answer: The percentage of boys students in Jamie's class is 20 % Step-by-step explanation:Given as :The total number of boys in the Jamie's class = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of the total studentLet the total number of student's in the class = xSo, The number of boys =  [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] × xI.e The number of boys =  [tex]\dfrac{x}{5}[/tex]So , in percentage the number of boys students in class = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm Total number of boy student}{\textrm Total number of students}[/tex] × 100OR, % boys students = [tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{x}{5}}{x}[/tex] × 100or, % boys students = [tex]\frac{100}{5}[/tex] ∴ % boys students = 20 Hence The percentage of boys students in Jamie's class is 20 %  .
