Question

In a group of 9 children, 6 are wearing blue. What percent of children are wearing blue?

Answer 1

Hint – Percentage of children wearing blue is the ratio of children wearing blue to the total number of children multiply by 100, so use this property to reach the answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:

Total number of children $ = 9$.
Number of children wearing blue$ = 6$.
So the percentage of children wearing blue $ = \dfrac{{{\text{Children wearing blue}}}}{{{\text{Total children}}}} \times 100$
$ = \dfrac{6}{9} \times 100$
$ = \dfrac{2}{3} \times 100 = 66.66$ Percent.
So this is the required percentage of children wearing blue.

Note – Whenever we face such types of questions first find out the number of children wearing blue then divide this value with the total number of children and simplify then finally multiply by 100 in this value to get the required percentage, which is the required answer.
