Esther had 110 brown beads and 55 black beads. Esther gave away 40% of her brown beads and 60% of her black beads. What percentage of her beads left was black?
Percentage of brown beads left
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Number of brown beads left
= 60% x 110
= 60100 x 110
= 66
Percentage of black beads left
= 100% - 60%
= 40%
Number of black beads left
= 40% x 55
=
40100 x 55
= 22
Total number of beads left
= 66 + 22
= 88
Percentage of beads left that are black
=
2288 x 100%
= 25%
Answer(s): 25%
