Question

Out of 260 racers who started the marathon, 232 completed the race, 25 gave up, and 3 were disqualified. What percentage did not complete the marathon?

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

You're looking for the percentage that "did not complete the marathon" So take the 25 that gave up and the 3 that were disqualified and add those. Then divide 260 by your sum of those groups. Your expresssion should be 260/28 which gives you the decimal 9.28571429. Your answer would be 9 because this question doesn't ask for a decimal answer.
