Question

Marty has 54 emails. Of these, 22 are from his friends at school. To the nearest percent, what percent of the emails are from Marty's friends at school?

Answer 1

41 percent of these emails would be from Marty's friends at school.

Answer 2

ok so
out of all emails (55), 22 are from friends
so percent means parts out of 100
22 out of 55=x/100
22/55=x/100
2/5=x/100
multiply both sides by 100
40=x
answer is 40%
