Explanation:

No. of exhibits : 50 at Museum.

% closed exhibits on Wednesday: 22%

We know:

% Closed = (Closed exhibits/Total exhibits)* 100

Putting in values:

• 22 = (Closed exhibits/50)*100

On solving,

• 22 = Closed exhibits* 2
• Closed exhibits = 22/2 = 11[Divide both side by 2]

Hence the number of closed exhibits: 11
