In a garden.
(1)/(5) of the flowers are tulips. What percent of the flowers are not tulips?

If we know that
(1)/(5) of the flowers are tulips,
(4)/(5) of the flowers are not tulips. To find what percent of flowers are not tulips, we can turn
(4)/(5) into a percent.

4 ÷ 5 = 0.8

0.8 × 100 = 80%

Therefore, 80% of the flowers are not tulips.
