So to find the answer to this problem, we have to work it out.
Let’s look at our key information in the problem:
90 total slices of meat
63 of the slices of meat are turkey
What percent of the meat are ham?
Step 1: find how much meat there is
-90 total
63 turkey
27 ham
Step 2: 90- 100%
27- X
X= 27 X 100 = 27 X 100 = 2700 = 30
90 90 90
So the answer is 30%.
30% of the meat is ham.
Hope this helped! :)

First let's find the number of ham slices.

90-63 = 27

Then divide it by the total amount to get your percent.

27/90 = 3/10 = 30%

It is 30% ham. Hope this helps!
