Full solution

Q. An estimated 33 out of every 2525 men are left-handed.\newlineWhat percent of men are left-handed?\newline%
  1. Understand Problem: Understand the problem and identify the 'Part' and 'Whole' in the given problem.\newlineIn this case, the 'Part' is the number of left-handed men, which is 33. The 'Whole' is the total number of men considered, which is 2525.
  2. Use Percent Formula: Use the percent formula: Percent (as a decimal)×Whole=Part\text{Percent (as a decimal)} \times \text{Whole} = \text{Part}. Here, we need to find the Percent (as a decimal), so we rearrange the formula to find Percent (as a decimal)=PartWhole\text{Percent (as a decimal)} = \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}.
  3. Plug in Values: Plug in the values into the formula to calculate the Percent (as a decimal).\newlinePercent (as a decimal) = 325.\frac{3}{25}.
  4. Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation.\newlinePercent (as a decimal) = 325=0.12\frac{3}{25} = 0.12.
  5. Convert to Percentage: Convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100100. \newlinePercentage of left-handed men = 0.12×100=12%0.12 \times 100 = 12\%.
