Given:
Only 6 of the 75 trees in the park are at least 30 feet tall
Determine what percent of the trees are under 30 feet tall.
Solution:
In order to determine the percentage of the trees that are under 30 feet, we simply subtract first, 6 by 75, then divide the difference by 75. We subtract 6 because it is stated that 6 trees are more than 30 feet, hence the remaining are below 30 feet.
= 75 - 6
= 69 trees
= 69/75
=0.92
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.
= (0.92)(100)
=92%
Final answer:
92%
