A popular word game uses one hundred tiles, each of which is marked with a letter or a blank. The distribution of the tiles is shown above, with each letter paired with the number of tiles marked with that letter. Notice that there are two blank tiles.
In the game, the four letters that are the most difficult to play are the "J", the "Q", the "X", and the "Z". John and Jane, who are in third grade, agree to remove these letters. After this is done, what percent of the letter tiles are marked with consonants (Note: "Y" counts as a consonant)?
