Answer:

To find the percentage of Camden's toys that are not orange, we first need to determine the fraction of toys that are orange. The question tells us that 3/5 of Camden's toys are orange.

To find the fraction of toys that are not orange, we subtract the fraction of toys that are orange from 1.

1 - 3/5 = 2/5

Therefore, 2/5 of Camden's toys are not orange.

To convert this fraction to a percentage, we multiply by 100.

(2/5) * 100 = 40%

So, 40% of Camden's toys are not orange.

In conclusion, 40% of Camden's toys are not orange, while 60% (100% - 40%) of Camden's toys are orange.

Answer:

40%

Explanation:

Given:


\sf (3)/(5) \textsf{ of Camden's toys are orange.}

let total number of Camden's toys be 1.

To find:

The percentage of Camden's toys that are not orange.

Solution:

We can find percentage of non-orange toys by using following formula:


\sf Percentage =\frac{\textsf{(Number of non-orange toys) }}{\textsf{ (Total number of toys) }} 100\%

let's find the number of non-orange toys first:

We can find it by Subtracting ratio of Camden's toys which are orange by 1.


\sf 1 -(3)/(5) =( 5-3)/(5)=(2)/(5)

Plugging in the values, we get:


\sf Percentage=((2)/(5))/(1)* 100\%


\sf Percentage= (2)/(5)* 100\%


\sf Percentage= (2* 100)/(5)\%


\sf Percentage= (200)/(5)\%


\sf Percentage=40\%

Therefore, 40% of Camden's toys are not orange.
