Question

During a recent tennis match, 15 of Ariana's 50 serves were aces. What percent of Ariana's serves were aces?

Answer 1

30% of Ariana's serves were aces.

Explanation:

Since a percentage is essentially (part / whole) * 100, we can determine what percent of Ariana's serves were aces by multiplying 15/50 by 100:

Percentage of aces = (15/50) * 100

Percentage of aces = (3/10) * 100

Percentage of aces = 300/10

Percentages of aces = 30

Thus, 30% of Ariana's serves were aces.
