Question

There are 150 males and 50 females participating in a marathon. What percent of the participants are female?

Answer 1

50+150=200

female=50

50÷200×100=25%

percentage of female=25%

Answer 2

Hey there!

Answer: 25% of participants are females

Add both M and F = 200

50 + 50 + 50 + 50 = 200

=> 50 + 150 = 200

each 50 is 25% of 200

Therefore, the percentage of females in the race is 25%
