What percentage of the students in the class wear glasses?
Give your answer to 1 d.p.

To find the percentage of students in the class who wear glasses, use the following formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of students wearing glasses}}{\text{Total number of students}} \right) \times 100
\]

Substitute the values:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{9}{26} \right) \times 100 \approx 34.6154
\]

Rounding to 1 decimal place:

\[
\text{Percentage} \approx 34.6\%
\]

So, approximately **34.6%** of the students in the class wear glasses.
