Question

there are 99 males and 121 females participating in a marathon. what percent of the participants are female? enter your answer in the box. %

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total participants

Total participants = Number of males + Number of females. So, \(99 + 121=220\).

Step2: Calculate the percentage of female participants

The formula for percentage is \(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100\). Here, the part is the number of females (\(121\)) and the whole is the total number of participants (\(220\)). So, \(\frac{121}{220}\times100\).
\(\frac{121\times100}{220}=\frac{12100}{220} = 55\)

Answer:

\(55\)
