Question

Only 35 people out of the 250 to whom the offer was made refused it. What percent refused it?

Answer 1

Answer: 14% refused the offer.

Step-by-step explanation: Divide the number of refusals by the total sent.

35/250 = 0.14 Then multiply by 100 to change from decimal to percent.

The quick way to multiply by 100 is to move the decimal point two places to the right. (Delete the 0 at the left.)

0.14 × 100 = 14. So the answer is 14%
