a great white loses teeth and grows new teeth if a shark lost 240 of its 3,000 teeth in one year what percent of teeth did it lose?
Pls help !,!
In order to figure out percentage you should know which numbers are dividing by each number. Based on the question, 240/3000 = 0.08 However, when you want to get a "percentage" you should multiply by 100 which becomes 8%. Therefore 8% of teeth was lost.
Thank u very much john
Rip that shark
To find the percentage of teeth that the shark lost, you need to divide the number of teeth lost by the total number of teeth and then multiply by 100.
First, you need to determine the number of teeth lost. The question states that the shark lost 240 teeth.
Next, you need to find the total number of teeth. The question states that the shark had 3,000 teeth initially.
Now you can calculate the percentage of teeth lost:
Percentage of teeth lost = (Number of teeth lost / Total number of teeth) × 100
Putting the values into the formula:
Percentage of teeth lost = (240 / 3000) × 100
Simplifying the calculation:
Percentage of teeth lost = (0.08) × 100
Percentage of teeth lost = 8%
Therefore, the shark lost 8% of its teeth.
