Answer:

20.8%(If the problem asks you to round it would be 21%)

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to know 2 things:

The denominator, and the numerator.

The denominator is 500, as that is the amount of times we spin a spinner.

The numerator is 104, as that is the amount of times the spinner lands on red.

Now to find the percentage, we divide the numerator by the denominator to get:


(104)/(500)

=

20.8%

Hope this helps! :3
