Question

there are 25 radios. 16 of them are damaged. find the percentage of damaged radios

Answer 1

Percentage of damaged radios

$= \frac{no. \: of \: damaged \: radios}{total \: no. \: of \: radios} \times 100 \\ = \frac{16}{25} \times 100 \\ = 16 \times 4 \\ = 64\%$

Answer 2

Answer:

80% of the radios are damaged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of radios is 25.

No. of damaged radios is 16.

To calculate the percentage of damaged radios, multiply the no. of damaged radios per total no. of radios by 100.

This means that the percentage of damaged radios will be given by the formula:

$\dfrac{\textsf{No. of damaged Radios}}{\textsf{No. of total Radios}} \times \sf{100}$

This is equal to:

$\sf{\dfrac{16}{25} \times 100}\\\\\\= \sf{\dfrac{4}{5} \times 100}\\\\\\= \sf{4 \times 20}\\\\= \sf{\boxed{\boxed{\large \bold{\sf{80 \%}}}}}$

Thus, 80% of the radios are damaged.
