Question

In the past year Diane watched 22 movies that she thought were very good. She watched 40 movies over the whole year. Of the movies she watched, what percentage did she rate as very good?

Answer 1

55%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of movies= 40

Number of movies rated very good= 22

Percentage of movies rated very good= 22/40*100%

= 55%

Answer 2

55%

Explanation:

For percentages, you need to divide the part by the whole, then multiply by 100.

In this case,
`(22)/(40)` = 0.55.

Then multiply by 100 to get a percentage: 0.55 x 100 = 55%
