In 2019 there were 85,823 juveniles arrested in California including: felonies (27,151), status offenses (10,381) and misdemeanors (48,291) What is the % of the status offense arrests?

Answer 1

85823 ---> 100%

10381 ----> x

`\begin{gathered} x*85823=100*10381 \\ 85823x=1038100 \\ (85823x)/(85823)=(1038100)/(85823) \\ x=12.1 \end{gathered}`

answer: 12.1 % of the status offense arrests
