Question

emily works at a music store where she repairs guitars. she keeps track of the types of guitars shes fixed and the types of repairs shes made. her records appear in the table. rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, what percentage of acoustic guitars needed broken string repair? (ignore the % symbol when entering your answer. for example, if the answer is 12.4%, enter 12.4.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the number of acoustic guitars with broken - string repair and total acoustic guitars

The number of acoustic guitars with broken - string repair is \(60\). The total number of acoustic guitars is \(131\).

Step2: Calculate the percentage

The formula for percentage is \(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100\). So, \(\frac{60}{131}\times 100=\frac{6000}{131}\approx45.8\)

Answer:

\(45.8\)
