Zoe had 52 blue erasers and 60 brown erasers. Zoe gave away 25% of her blue erasers and 65% of her brown erasers. What percentage of her erasers left was brown?
Percentage of blue erasers left
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Number of blue erasers left
= 75% x 52
= 75100 x 52
= 39
Percentage of brown erasers left
= 100% - 65%
= 35%
Number of brown erasers left
= 35% x 60
=
35100 x 60
= 21
Total number of erasers left
= 39 + 21
= 60
Percentage of erasers left that are brown
=
2160 x 100%
= 35%
Answer(s): 35%
