Q. Belle ordered a set of beads. She received 44 beads in all. 11 of the beads were orange. What percentage of the beads were orange?Write your answer using a percent sign (%)._____
Calculate Orange Percentage: First, we need to figure out what percentage of the total beads are orange. We know Belle received 44 beads in total and 11 of those are orange.
Use Percentage Formula: To find the percentage, we use the formula: (Number of orange beads÷Total number of beads)×100. So, we calculate (11÷44)×100.
Final Percentage Calculation: Doing the division first, 11÷44 equals 0.25. Then, multiplying by 100 gives us 0.25×100=25%.
