Question

Mia lives on a farm and has 21 bulls and 21 cows. What percentage of the bovine population is bulls? Please explain how to get your answer as simple as possible! Thank you :)

Answer 1

50%

Explanation:

To find the percentage of something, you need to put the thing over the total as a fraction, then multiply that fraction by 100%.

Percentage of the bulls =
`(21)/(21+21)` × 100%

=
`(21)/(42)` × 100%

= 50%
