Question

There were 9,600 tourists on the beach that day but only 12 of them were buried up to their neck in sand. What percent of the tourists were buried up to their neck in sand ?

Answer 1

To find the percent of tourists buried up to their neck in sand, you can divide the number of buried tourists by the total number of tourists and multiply by 100.

12 buried tourists / 9,600 total tourists = 0.00125

0.00125 x 100 = 0.125 or 12.5%

So, 12.5% of the tourists were buried up to their neck in sand.
