Question

Maya has 200 songs on her cell phone. Of these songs, 48 are jazz songs. What percent of Maya's songs are jazz songs? Enter the correct answer in the box.

Answer 1

ANSWER: 24%

here’s a way to calculate percentage:

48 x
—— = ——
200 100

we have to find “x” so cross multiply (we can only cross multiply 48 & 100 since you can’t multiply x & 200 because x isn’t a number.) So, 48*100= 4800. then divide by the number left over number (200.) So 4800/200= 24

Happy to help!
