There are 32 blue beads out of a total of 80 beads. What percent of the beads are blue?

Answer 1

40%

Explanation:

There are a total of 80 beads, and 32 of them are blue. In other words:

`32/80\text{ are blue.}`

Reduce:

`(2)/(5)\text{ are blue.}`

2/5 is the same as 40%.

Therefore, 40% of the beads are blue.
