Q. Kendra has a new beaded necklace. 4848 out of the 9696 beads on the necklace are blue. What percentage of beads on Kendra's necklace are blue?\newlineWrite your answer using a percent sign (%\%).\newline_____
  1. Identify Bead Numbers: Identify the total number of beads and the number of blue beads. Total beads = 9696, Blue beads = 4848.
  2. Set Up Equation: Set up the equation to find the percentage of blue beads. Percentage=(Number of blue beadsTotal number of beads)×100\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of blue beads}}{\text{Total number of beads}}\right) \times 100.
  3. Calculate Percentage: Plug in the values and calculate the percentage.\newlinePercentage = (4896)×100=50%(\frac{48}{96}) \times 100 = 50\%.
