Answer 1

90%

Explanation:

so in order to find the percentage of orange beads, you need to find out how many orange beads there are out of the total amount

altogether there are: 45+5 = 50 beads

of those 50 beads, 45 are orange right, so you need to find

`(how \: many \: orange \: beads \: there \: are)/(total \: number \: of \: beads) * 100\%`

which is

`(45)/(50) * 100\%`

you can make the base to be 100 so you can find the decimal without a calculator:

`(90)/(100) * 100\%`

since the 100s cancel out in the multiplication process you get 90%

Answer 2

Here we are looking for the percentage of beads out of the total that Paco received that were orange.

The total number of beads Paco received is equal to orange + the different color. 45 + 5 = 50 total beads

Then, we'll need to create a fraction for the number of orange beads Paco received over the total number of beads. 45 / 50

Lastly, we can use our calculator to find a decimal number for the proportion of orange beads. 0.90

Multiply 0.90 by 100 to get the percentage. 90% orange beads

Hope this helps!! :)
