If you have 130 items and 85 of the items are Red, what percent of the itmes are blue?
Are there only red and blue items?
Yes...there are only red and blue items
130 - 85 = 45
45 / 130 = 0.34615 = 34.6%
To find the percentage of blue items, we first need to determine how many blue items there are. Given that there are 130 items in total and 85 of them are red, we can subtract the number of red items from the total to get the number of blue items.
Number of blue items = Total number of items - Number of red items
= 130 - 85
= 45
Now we know that there are 45 blue items out of a total of 130 items. To find the percentage of blue items, we divide the number of blue items by the total number of items and then multiply by 100.
Percentage of blue items = (Number of blue items / Total number of items) * 100
= (45 / 130) * 100
≈ 34.62%
Therefore, approximately 34.62% of the items are blue.
