Answer:

The fraction is 470/1000, which can be simplified to 47/100, and that is 47%.

Explanation:

Basically you take what is asked for and you divide it by the total amount.

470 is the amount of girls as contestants.

1000 is the total amount of contestants.

And that gives you the ratio 470/1000.
