Question

the bookstore has 111 womens magazines and 37 other magazines. what percentage of the magazines at the bookstore are womens magazines? write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of magazines

To find the total number of magazines, we add the number of women's magazines and other magazines. So, total magazines = 111 + 37 = 148.

Step2: Calculate the percentage of women's magazines

The formula for percentage is $\frac{\text{Number of women's magazines}}{\text{Total number of magazines}} \times 100\%$. Substituting the values, we get $\frac{111}{148} \times 100\%$. Simplifying $\frac{111}{148}$, we divide 111 by 148. 111 ÷ 148 = 0.75. Then, 0.75 × 100% = 75%.

Answer:

75%
