Question

determine the answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.12 out of 52 cards in a deck are face cards.What percentage of cards in a deck are face cards?

Answer 1

Total number of cards: 52

Number of face cards: 12

To calculate the percentage that the face cards represent we need to divide the number of face cards by the total number of cars, and then multiply by 100%:

`(12)/(52)*100`

The first division 12/52 will give us the proportion that the face cards represent, and by multiplying that by 100 we find the percentage.

Solving the operations:

-solving the division

`0.2308*100`

-solving the multiplication:

`23.08`

The face cards represent 23.08%.

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent (one decimal place):

`\approx23.1`

Answer: 23.1%
