Question

out of 144 letters in a sentence 48 are vowels find what percent of the letters are consonants

Answer 1

percentage of vowel=48/144×100=33.3
percentage of consonents=100-33.3=67.7

Answer 2

The percent of the letters are consonants is "66.67 percent (%)".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total letters in a sentence = 144 and

Vowels letters in a sentence = 48

To find, percent of the letters are consonants = ?

∴ Consonants letters in a sentence = Total letters in a sentence - Vowels letters in a sentence

= 144 - 48 = 96

∴ The percent of the letters are consonants $=\dfrac{96}{144} \times 100$

$=\dfrac{2}{3} \times 100$

$=\dfrac{200}{3}$

= 66.67 %

Hence, the percent of the letters are consonants is 66.67 percent (%).
