Given the statement:
200 songs, 24 are country.
Determine the percentage of the country songs.
Solution:
In order to determine the percentage of the country songs we simply divide the number of country songs by the total number of music.
= 24/200
= 0.12
Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.12)(100)
= 12%
Final answer:
= 12%
