Question

Rosa made a mosaic wall using 42 black tiles, 35 blue tiles, and 23 red tiles. Write a percent to represent the number of red tiles in the mural.

Answer 1

First you have to figure out the total.
42+35+23= 100
So plug it in.
23/100
23%
Your answer is 23%.
Hope this helped ^-^

Answer 2

23%

Explanation:

Givens:

• 42 black tiles.
• 35 blue tiles.
• 23 red tiles.

The percentage of the number of red tiles is obtained by dividing all red tiles with the total number of tiles, that is

`(23)/(42+35+23)=(23)/(100)= 0.23 \ (or \ 23\%)`

Therefore, all red tiles in the mural represent a 23% of all tiles.
