Question

At Gabrielle's Beading Boutique, 9 out of the 10 beads on clearance are plastic. What percentage of beads on clearance are plastic?

Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Answer 1

9/10 equals 90/100 and that equals 90%. Present is based on one hundred.

Answer 2

The percentage of beads on clearance that are plastic is 90%

Explanation:

9/10 = 90/100

The answer has to be out of 100. So, you would multiply 9 times 10 to get 90 and 10 times 10 to get 100

90/100 = 90%

Hope this helps :)
