Question

Karen had 55 pencils and lost 11 of them. What percentage of pencils did she lose?​

Answer 1

Given;

Total number of pencil=55

number of pencil lost=11

Then,

percentage of pencil lost=((Number of pencil lost/Total number of pencil)*100)

% of pencil lost= ((11/55)*100)

% of pencil lost=0.2*100

% of pencil lost=20%

Therefore,

The percentage of pencil lost is 20%
