Answer 1

45% of the beads are round and 55% of the beads are rectangular.

Explanation:

The percentage of beads that are round can be found by dividing the number of round beads by the total number of beads and then multiplying by 100:

Percentage of round beads = $\frac{45}{100} \times 100% = 45%$

To find the number of rectangular beads, we can subtract the number of round beads from the total number of beads:

Number of rectangular beads = 100 - 45 = 55

Therefore, 45% of the beads are round and 55% of the beads are rectangular.
