Question

When planting a garden, 17 out of 25 plants sprout on time.

What percentage of plants do not sprout on time?

Answer 1

8/25 or 32%

Explanation:

if 17/25 do sprout on time than 8 or the twenty five don't. So 8/25 is the amount that don't and by multiplying both the top and bottom fraction by 4 you will get 32/100 or 32%
