In August 2017, 72 sports balls were collected by Mr. Trash Wheel. What percentage of the total sports balls collected from May 2014 to November 2017 does that represent?
The answer is 2.15% (to 2 decimal places)
Explanation:
Total sports balls collected = 3,344
number collected in August 2017 = 72 sports balls
Let percentage be x
x% of 3,344 = 72
[tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{3344}{1}[/tex] = 72
[tex]\frac{3344x}{100}[/tex] = 72
3344x = 7200
∴x = 7200 ÷ 3344 = 2.15%
