Question

35% of the birds in a sanctuary are hummingbirds. If there are 420 birds in the sanctuary

now, how many are hummingbirds?
HELP PLEASE ASAP

Answer 1

147 hummingbirds are in the sanctuary.

Explanation:

The answer can be found using the given percentage. Stating that 35% of the birds in the sanctuary are hummingbirds means that the amount of hummingbirds is 0.35 times the total amount of birds.

`420 \: * \: 0.35 \: = 147`

Percentages can always be converted to a decimal number:

(1% = 0.01 ; 10% = 0.10 ; 100% = 1.00; etc.)
