​

Answer 1

Given - Total balloons = 100

Green balloons = 52

Find - Percentage of green balloons

Solution - Percentage of green balloons can be calculated by the formula = Number of green balloons/Total number of balloons*100

Percentage of green balloons = 52/100*100

Since 100 is present in both numerator and denominator, cancelling it out.

So, percentage of green balloons = 52%

Therefore, the percentage of the balloons at the funfair that were green was 52%.

Answer 2

Given:

Total number of balloons = 100

Number of Green balloons = 52

To Find:

Percentage of Green balloons.

Solution:

For finding the percentage of green balloons,

The formula that can be used for calculating the percentage is,

                            $Percentage = \cfrac{value}{Total~value} ~* 100$

After putting the value in the value,

                            $Percentage = \cfrac{52}{100} ~* 100\\Percentage = 52$

Hence the percentage of green balloons is 52 %.
