Question

There are 95 males and 125 females participating in a marathon. What

percent of the participants are female? Round your answer to the nearest
hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer: 55.56%

Explanation:

To find the percentage, we need to do part over whole. Part being the females and the total marathon runners being the total. So that would be 95/95+125, then 95/225, then 55.555555 and repeating. Then we would round that to 55.56%.
