In the square, if part A is 1/4 of the square and part C is 1/10 of the square, what percent of the square is part B?
1/4 = .25 (another way to write 25%)
1/10 = .10 (another way to write 10%)
1.00 - .25 - .10 = ??
65%?

The square of part B is 1/10
In the square,if part A is 1/4 of the square and part C is 1/10 of the square what percent of the square is part b?
10%
65%
10x4= 40= 1/40 is answer
To determine the percentage of the square that part B occupies, we need to subtract the areas of parts A (1/4) and C (1/10) from 100% (the whole square). The remaining percentage represents part B.
Let's calculate it step by step:
1. Find the combined area of parts A and C:
- Since part A occupies 1/4 of the square, we can represent it as a fraction: 1/4.
- Similarly, as part C occupies 1/10 of the square, we can write it as a fraction: 1/10.
- To find the combined area of parts A and C, we add these fractions: 1/4 + 1/10.
2. Calculate the percentage of the square occupied by parts A and C:
- Find the common denominator (LCM) of 4 and 10, which is 20.
- Multiply the numerators by the same factor as the denominators: (1/4) * (5/5) + (1/10) * (2/2) = 5/20 + 2/20 = 7/20.
- So, parts A and C occupy 7/20 of the whole square.
3. Determine the remaining percentage for part B:
- Subtract the percentage occupied by parts A and C (7/20) from 100%: 100% - (7/20) * 100 = 100% - 35% = 65%.
Therefore, part B occupies 65% of the square.
