Julia has 32 sheets of paper remaining in her 200 page note book. What percentage of the paper has she used?
16% is what is left, you need to subtract that from 100% to see what percentage of paper is used.
Well, let's do some math! She started with 200 pages, and now she has 32 pages left. So, she has used 200 - 32 = 168 pages. Now, to find the percentage, we divide the number of pages used by the total number of pages and multiply by 100. So, 168/200 * 100 = 84%. Julia has used 84% of the paper in her notebook. With 16% left, she could write a few jokes for me!
To find the percentage of paper Julia has used, you need to know the total number of sheets in her notebook and the number of sheets remaining.
First, you need to determine the total number of sheets in the notebook. Since one sheet of paper consists of two pages, we can divide the total number of pages in the notebook by 2 to obtain the number of sheets.
200 pages ÷ 2 = 100 sheets
Now that we know the total number of sheets in the notebook is 100, we can calculate the percentage of paper Julia has used by subtracting the number of remaining sheets from the total number of sheets and then dividing the result by the total number of sheets. Finally, we multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
Used sheets = Total sheets - Remaining sheets
Used sheets = 100 - 32 = 68 sheets
Percentage of paper used = (Used sheets ÷ Total sheets) × 100
Percentage of paper used = (68 ÷ 100) × 100
Percentage of paper used = 0.68 × 100
Percentage of paper used = 68%
Therefore, Julia has used 68% of the paper in her notebook.
