Question

Last summer, there were 888 houses for sale in Neil's town. The other 37 houses in the town were not for sale. What percentage of the houses in Neil's town were for sale last summer?

Answer 1

96% of the houses were up for sale.

Explanation:

Total number of houses

888 = 37 = 925

888 / 925 = .96

You change a decimal into a percent by multiplying by 100%

.96 x 100% = 96%
