Q. At Elena's Beading Boutique, 1515 out of the 3030 beads on clearance are plastic. What percentage of beads on clearance are plastic?\newlineWrite your answer using a percent sign (%\%).\newline_____
  1. Identify Total Beads: Identify the total number of beads on clearance and the number of plastic beads.\newlineTotal beads on clearance: 3030\newlinePlastic beads: 1515\newlineWe need to calculate the percentage of beads that are plastic using the formula:\newlinePercentage = (Number of plastic beads/Total beads)×100(\text{Number of plastic beads} / \text{Total beads}) \times 100
  2. Calculate Percentage: Substitute the values into the formula to find the percentage.\newlinePercentage = (15/30)×100(15 / 30) \times 100\newlineFirst, simplify 15/3015 / 30.
  3. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction 1530\frac{15}{30}.\newline1530=0.5\frac{15}{30} = 0.5\newlineNow, multiply 0.50.5 by 100100 to find the percentage.
  4. Calculate Percentage: Calculate 0.5×1000.5 \times 100.\newline0.5×100=500.5 \times 100 = 50\newlineSo, 50%50\% of the beads on clearance are plastic.
