Question

The bookstore has 37 women's magazines and 37 other magazines. What percentage of the magazines at the bookstore are women's magazines?

Answer 1

Answer: 50%

Explanation:

Number of women magazines = 37

Number of other magazines = 37

Total number of magazines = 37 + 37 = 74

The percentage of the magazines at the bookstore that are women's magazines will be:

= Number of women magazines / Total number of magazines × 100

= 37/74 × 100

= 1/2 × 100

= 50%
