Question

At a park, 80 out of the 200 people there are men. The rest are women.

What percent of the people are women?

Answer 1

Answer: 3/5 of the park population is female, or 60 percent. How? 80:200 can be simplified to 40:100, and this in fraction form is 40/100. We can further simplify it by dividing both by 10 to get 4/10, and then by 2 to get 2/5. 5 - 2 = 3, so 3/5 is the answer.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

200-60=120women
120/200=60% women
