Question

This year, Ali watched 65 movies. He thought that 52 of them were very good. Of the movies he watched, what percentage did he think were very good?

A. 70%

B. 80%

C. 85%

D. 90%

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage of movies Ali thought were very good, we divide the number of very good movies (52) by the total number of movies watched (65) and multiply the result by 100, which equals 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what percentage of movies Ali thought were very good, divide the number of movies he thought were very good by the total number of movies he watched and then multiply by 100 to convert it into a percentage.

Percentage of very good movies = (Number of very good movies / Total number of movies watched) × 100

Percentage of very good movies = (52 / 65) × 100

Percentage of very good movies = 0.8 × 100 = 80%

Therefore, Ali thought that 80% of the movies he watched were very good, which corresponds to option B.
