Ella collects 50 bottles to recycle.Of the bottle she collects 19 are plastic and the rest are glass.What percent of the bottles are glass

39%

To find the percentage of glass bottles, we need to know the number of glass bottles first.

The number of plastic bottles Ella collected is 19.

To find the number of glass bottles, we subtract the number of plastic bottles from the total number of bottles collected:

Total number of bottles - Number of plastic bottles = Number of glass bottles
50 - 19 = 31

So, Ella collected 31 glass bottles.

Now, to find the percentage of glass bottles, we use the formula:

(Part / Whole) * 100 = Percentage

Number of glass bottles / Total number of bottles * 100 = Percentage of glass bottles

31 / 50 * 100 = Percentage of glass bottles

0.62 * 100 = Percentage of glass bottles

Therefore, approximately 62% of the bottles Ella collected are glass.

To find the percentage of the bottles that are glass, follow these steps:

1. Subtract the number of plastic bottles from the total number of bottles collected: 50 - 19 = 31.
2. Since the remaining bottles are glass, the number of glass bottles is 31.
3. To find the percentage, divide the number of glass bottles by the total number of bottles and multiply by 100: (31 / 50) * 100 = 62%.

Therefore, 62% of the bottles Ella collected are glass.
