Question

A teacher started the year with 50 markers. Some of the markers were dry and thrown out. She has 38 markers left. What percent of the markers does she have remaining?

Answer 1

76%

Explanation:

The fraction would be 38/50 remaining. A percentage is out of 100. If you multiply 50 by 2, you get 100. Then you multiply 38 by 2 to make it equivalent, which will give you 76. 76/100 = 76%
