...158 div by 4985 = .031695 * 100 = 3.1695% failed.
Edited to get it right!!!

...there is no nit picking in math. You're either right or wrong. My answer was wrong!

...just to pick nits, my numbers were right, .031695 out of 1 which is the same as 3.1695 per CENT, per 100. I just expressed it wrong because I'm always in a hurry and I know what I meant!

...write this down and keep it handy;
% = the number you're looking for divided BY the whole;
In your case the 'whole' was 4985 and you were looking for the % that failed.
158 failed. So, 158 divided BY 4985 = .031695 and THEN multiply by 100 to get percent, per 100, so, 158 (what you're looking for) divided BY 4985 (the whole, what you're looking for OUT of) then times 100 to express as per cent.
3.1695%
Next, we do area of a circle...

3.1695 is the average points scored by the Redskins per game? HAHA J/K...just to pick nits, my numbers were right, .031695 out of 1 which is the same as 3.1695 per CENT, per 100. I just expressed it wrong because I'm always in a hurry and I know what I meant!
