Question

Problem 5 There are 90 kids in the band. 20% of the kids own their own instruments, and the rest rent them. How many kids own their own instruments? 18 Kids How many kids rent instruments? What percentage of kids rent their instruments? ​

Answer 1

Of the 90 kids in the band, 18 own their instruments, and 72 rent their instruments, which is 80% of the band.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many kids own their own instruments, we use the given percentage of 20%. We calculate 20% of 90 by multiplying 90 by 0.20, which gives us 18 kids who own their own instruments.

To find out how many kids rent instruments, we subtract the number of kids who own instruments from the total number of kids in the band. So, 90 kids minus 18 kids equals 72 kids who rent instruments.

To find the percentage of kids who rent instruments, we take the number of kids who rent instruments, 72, divide it by the total number of kids in the band, 90, and then multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage. This gives us (72 / 90) * 100, which equals 80%.
