Answer to Question #149633 in Algebra for Hi

Question

There are 45 out of the 54 people in writer's club who are left handed. What percent of the people are right handed?

Answer 1

$\begin{matrix} 54 & 100\% \\ 45 & x\% \end{matrix}$

$x\%=\dfrac{45}{54}\cdot100\%=\dfrac{250}{3}\%$

$100\%-\dfrac{250}{3}\%=\dfrac{50}{3}\%\approx16.6667\%$

There are approximately 16.6667% right handed people among 54 people in writer's club.
