Anyway…

A pet adoption centre has cats and dogs. If 1/5 of the pets are cats, what percentage are dogs?

Leah

1/31/2022 04:47:32 pm

I guess I’ll answer my own.

80% of the pets are dogs because 1/5 of 100 is 20 and 100-20=80.

200/200*52=1/52≈0.0192=1.92%
About 1.92% of the postal workers in the province could have Mr. Fisher's adapter.

Mr. Fisher really wants the postal service to hurry up with his MacBook adapter so he can improve the quality of his lessons. Sadly, the postal workers in his area is "stretched" out. let's say there are 200 postal workers in each city. Out of all the postal workers, what percent might have his adapter?
note: there are 52 cities in bc

20 kids on a bus. 50% are boys. What percent are girls?

Timothy

1/31/2022 07:26:45 pm

10 children are girls because half of 20 is 10

cindy

1/31/2022 07:56:55 pm

50% are girls because 50% are boys.

Elton

there are 25 people in or out of a room. what percent are out of the room if 20% of the people were in it?

Himavanth

1/31/2022 09:05:51 pm

80. (the website thinks it's a duplicate comment so I put a period lol)

Alison

1/31/2022 09:08:10 pm

100-20=80
80 percent of the 25 people were in the room

cindy

1/31/2022 07:59:56 pm

there were 5 children in the room, when a chocolate bar was stolen. None of them admit to it and leave any clues. You don’t suspect anybody either. What’s the percentage each child holds on being the culprit?
(btw you were the one who ate it and forgot. none of the kids did it)

Emily

1/31/2022 08:11:10 pm

20% because 20% is equal to 1/5.

A farmer's market sells apples, oranges, and bananas. They have 60 fruits in total. If 30% of the fruits are apples and 1/5 are bananas, what percent of the fruits are oranges? (BONUS: How many fruits of each kind is the market selling?)

Himavanth

1/31/2022 09:09:23 pm

50 percent total oranges, 18 apples, 20 bananas, 30 oranges

Emily

1/31/2022 09:25:01 pm

Yes it is 50%, but it's 18 apples, 12 bananas, and 30 oranges. Good job! :D

There were 27 kids in a class and they got candies. 16% didn't. How many kids got candies?

Himavanth

1/31/2022 09:11:18 pm

Daniela

1/31/2022 09:20:28 pm

?/27 16/100 = 16 x 27 = 432 divided by 100 = 4.32 - 4.32 students got candy.

Daniela

1/31/2022 09:28:35 pm

Also who's the 1/3 kid?

Genesis spends 2 hours trying to finish her novel approach. If she spends 45 minutes procrastinating instead of doing work, what percent of her time did she actually do her work?

@Div. 2- There are some good questions here. Let's get them answered!

Himavanth

1/31/2022 08:57:07 pm

Should've wrote a better word problem lol. My second question is: There are 300 fruits on a magical tree. 50% were apples, 30% were oranges, and 20% were lemons. 50% of the apples, 9% of the oranges, and 10% of the lemons fell off. What percent of the fruits fell off? How many are left? How many from each kind of fruits fell off?

Himavanth

1/31/2022 09:16:35 pm

The answer is funny so I don't want to solve it.

Daniela

Suhani was supposed to write a 500-word essay, she has written 84% of the total amount of words. How many words has she written, how many more does she need to include?

Kaitlin

1/31/2022 10:25:32 pm

84 + 16 = 100, so 16% is the amount of words left
( ) 16
----- -----
500 100
16 x 500 = 8000, 8000 / 100 = 80
80 + 420 = 500, which means 420 is the amount of words that have been already written.

Suhani has written 420 words, and needs to write 80 more.

7 is 50% if you divided 14 by 2 you get 7
