Question

Of the 50 U.S. states, 4 have names that start with the letter W.

What percentage of U.S. states have names that start with the letter W?

Answer 1

8% Start with the Letter "W"

Answer 2

Hi there!

To solve, we'll set up a proportion looking like this to find the percentage: 4/50 = x/100. Then, we'll cross-multiply: 50x = 400. Lastly, we'll divide both sides by 50 to find the percentage: x = 8%.

Hope this helps!! :)
