Question

Out of a stock of 300 books, 135 books were sold
on a day. What percentage were left unsold.​

Answer 1

Answer:

165/300*100

= 55%..Books were left unsold

Answer 2

Answer: 55%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 135 from 300

We are given with the books which are sold, so inorder to find the number which are unsold we need to subtract the sold number of books from total number of books.

So, 300 - 135 = 165

Step 2: Find its percentage

To find the percentage of anything, keep in mind this formulae:

Percentage = Obtained number/ Total number * 100

Here, our obtained number is the number of unsold books, and total number is the total number of books.

So, Substituting the values.

165/300 * 100

= 165/3

= 55%
