Explanation:

Given : Over the course of a day you checked 250 total mousetraps and determined that 50 of them were perfectly made.

To Find: what percentage of the mouse traps you check was perfectly made?

Solution:

`\Rightarrow \frac{\text{No. of mousetraps made perfectly}}{\text{Total no. of mousetraps}} * 100`

`\Rightarrow (50)/(250) * 100`
