Explanation:

13=blue blankets 7=red blankets

First, we need to know how many blankets there are in total.

13+7=20

Now, we don't need the seven anymore. Our ratio is blue blankets to total blankets.

13/20

Now, we need to know how many blue blankets there are in percentage.

13/20 = x/100

Next step: 13 times 100 is divided by 20

x= 13(100)÷20

x=1300÷20

x= 65
