Question

Rachel has 75 books.18 of the books are comics books. The rest of books are novels.

a. What percentage of the books are novels?
b. What percentage of her books are comics?

Answer 1

Novels: 24% Comics: 76%

Explanation:

Divide 18/75= 0.24= 24% to find percent of novels

Subtract 100-24= 76 to get the remaining percent

Or

Subtract 75-18= 57 (to get the number of comics she has)

Divide 57/75= 0.76= 76% to find percent of comics
