what percent of students got a d on the algebra test?
round to the nearest percent.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify number of D students and total

Number of students with D: \( 6 \)
Total students: \( 80 \)

Step2: Calculate percentage

Percentage formula: \( \frac{\text{Number of D students}}{\text{Total students}} \times 100 \)
\( \frac{6}{80} \times 100 = 7.5 \)

Step3: Round to nearest percent

\( 7.5 \) rounded to nearest percent is \( 8 \)

Answer:

8%
