Given: In a box of 80 glasses, 3 are broken.

To find: Percentage of broken glasses in the box.

Solution:

• Percentage is a value expressed per 100 units, that is, the value of the percentage lies between 0 to 100.
• In order to calculate the percentage of the broken glasses, the number of broken glasses is divided by the total number of glasses.
• Then, the quotient obtained is multiplied by 100.

        $\frac{3}{80} * 100 = 3.75 %$

Therefore, the percentage of broken glasses in the box is 3.75%.
