Q. At Elena's Beading Boutique,

15

out of the

30

beads on clearance are plastic. What percentage of beads on clearance are plastic?

\newline

Write your answer using a percent sign (

\%

).

\newline

_____

Identify Total Beads: Identify the total number of beads on clearance and the number of plastic beads. $\newline$ Total beads on clearance: $30$ $\newline$ Plastic beads: $15$ $\newline$ We need to calculate the percentage of beads that are plastic using the formula: $\newline$ Percentage = $(\text{Number of plastic beads} / \text{Total beads}) \times 100$
Calculate Percentage: Substitute the values into the formula to find the percentage. $\newline$ Percentage = $(15 / 30) \times 100$ $\newline$ First, simplify $15 / 30$ .
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction $\frac{15}{30}$ . $\newline$ $\frac{15}{30} = 0.5$ $\newline$ Now, multiply $0.5$ by $100$ to find the percentage.
Calculate Percentage: Calculate $0.5 \times 100$ . $\newline$ $0.5 \times 100 = 50$ $\newline$ So, $50\%$ of the beads on clearance are plastic.
