Answer 1

Karina won 56% of her dance competitions, which is found by dividing the number of wins (14) by the total competitions (25) and converting to a percentage by multiplying by 100. Therefore correct option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of dance competitions Karina won, you need to divide the number of competitions she won by the total number of competitions she participated in, and then multiply the result by 100 to convert it into a percentage.

Here is the step-by-step calculation:

1. Divide the number of wins by the total number of competitions: 14 wins / 25 total competitions = 0.56.
2. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage: 0.56 * 100 = 56%.

Therefore, Karina won 56.0% of her dance competitions, which corresponds to option A) 56.0%.
