Question

Among the 20 prates of the Flightless Folly crew. 4 of them own a pet crab each. What percentage of prates on board the ship own a pet crab?

Answer 1

We need to find the percentage of prates own a pet crab

There are 20 prates

4 of them own pet

Then we need the percent of 4 out of 20

We will divide 4 by 20 and multiply the answer by 100%

`(4)/(20)*100`

We will simplify it

`(1)/(5)*100=20`

The percentage of prates on the ship own a pet is 20%
