Question

there are 100 buttons in a bag. 31 are green, 21 are blue, 11 are red, 14 are yellow, and 23 are orange. what is the percent of blue and orange buttons?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total number of blue and orange buttons

The number of blue buttons is $21$, and the number of orange buttons is $23$. So the total number of blue and orange buttons is $21 + 23=44$.

Step2: Calculate the percentage

The formula for percentage is $\frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}}\times100\%$. Here, the part (blue and orange buttons) is $44$, and the whole (total buttons) is $100$. So the percentage is $\frac{44}{100}\times100\% = 44\%$.

Answer:

$44\%$
