Example Question #16 : How To Find Percentage
There is a total of 50 houses in a neighborhood. 20 of the houses have red roofs and 15 of the houses have black roofs. The rest of the houses have green roofs. What percentage of the houses have green roofs?
If there are a total of 50 houses and the total of red and black roofed houses is 35, there must be 15 green houses in this neighborhood.
To figure out what percentage a number makes up of any larger amount, divide the part by the whole. Since there are 15 green roofed houses, you should divide 15 by 50.
When you multiply the decimal by 100, your result will be the percentage the smaller number makes up of the larger amount.
Therefore, the answer is 30%
Example Question #15 : How To Find Percentage
There is a total of 50 houses in a neighborhood. 20 of the houses have red roofs and 15 of the houses have black roofs. The rest of the houses have green roofs. What percentage of the houses have black roofs?
To figure out what percentage a number makes up of any larger amount, divide the part by the whole. Since there are 15 black roofed houses, you should divide 15 by 50.
When you multiply the decimal by 100, your result will be the percentage the smaller number makes up of the larger amount.
Therefore, the answer is 30%
