Question

A bag of skittles has 50 pieces of candy what percentage is orange ps. there are 11 orange skittles

Answer 1

well 11 out of 50 is 22% so i’m sure the answer is 22%

Answer 2

I think the answer is 22% but I am not sure

Explanation:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 50 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with X

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=50

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=11.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=50(1).

X%=11(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the left hand side of both equations have the same unit; we have

100% / X% = 11 / 50

X = 22%

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

X% / 100% = 11 / 50

Therefore, 11 is 22% of 50.
