Question

in the computer lab, there are 14 desktops and 16 laptops. approximately whta percent of the computers are laptops

Answer 1

about 43% or 43.3%

Explanation:

First, add up the total amount of computers in the computer lab:

14 + 16 = 30

We are told that 16 of the 30 computers are laptops so we can think of this percentage problem as its own equation

13 is what percent of 30

13 = % x 30

now to solve by dividing 13 by 30 using a calculator:

13/30 = 0.433...

This approximates to 43% or 43.3%
