Respuesta :

20% are perfectly made (50 divided by 250)

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Over the course of a day you checked 250 total mousetraps and determined that 50 of them were perfectly made.

To Find: what percentage of the mouse traps you check was perfectly made?

Total no. of mousetraps =250

Out of 250, 50 were perfectly made.

So, to find percentage of the mouse traps you check was perfectly made:

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{\text{No. of mousetraps made perfectly}}{\text{Total no. of mousetraps}} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{50}{250} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 20[/tex]

Hence 20% of the mouse traps you check was perfectly made
