Answer 1

Hello!

To find what percent of states begin w/ a W, all you need to do is divide 44 by 50

44/50

Once you've done so, you'll get 0.88, which you can convert to 88%

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Have names that start with W = 4
Total = 50

That equals 4/50

Divide:

4 ÷ 50 = 0.08

0.08 = 8%

Answer = 8%

Hope this helped :)
