New York State and 20 percent are from New York City. What percent of the boys in the camp are from New York City?
60 percent
50 percent
33 percent
10 percent
6 percent
Please explain.
6 percent
20 percent of 30 percent —->.2*.3=.06= 6 percent
I’m guessing you meant to say:
“… and 20 percent OF THEM are from New York City”
In this case, your answer will be: 30% * 20% = 6%
6 percent
Now that 20 percent are from New York City,then the percent of the boys in the camp from New York City are 30%*20%=6%
20% of the whole camp is from NYC or 20% of the NY state people are from NYC?
