Penny percent. Suppose you flip a coin 100 times, with 53 tosses landing heads up. What percentage of the tosses would be heads? What percentage would be tails?

Heads: 53% Tails: 47%

Heads: 53 divided by 100 = 0.53 times 100(to make a percentage)= 53%

Tails:100 - 53 = 47 divided by 100= 0.47 times 100 = 47%

percentage of heads
= 53/100 x 100
=53%
percentage of tails
= 100-53
=47
=47/100 x100
= 47%
