Percentages

To know the percentage of having n elements out of a total of m elements, we calculate the ratio n/m and express the result as a percentage.

The shoe store has 23 pairs of white shoes out of 90 total pairs of shoes. The percent of white tennis shoes is calculated as follows:

`\displaystyle percent= (23)/(90)*100\%`

Operating:

percent=25.56%
