Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage you always divide the small number, between the total number (in this case of nuclear weapons worldwide). You will have something like 0,31 --> Then you multiply by 100 in order to transform that into a percentage

Given that a particular country has an estimated 4760 nuclear weapons out of an estimated total of 15350 nuclear weapons worldwide.

To find the percentage of the nuclear weapon owned by the country we have:


(4760)/(15350)\ast100\text{ = }31.01^{}\text{ percent}

Therefore the country has 31.01% of the total nuclear weapons.
