Answer 2

Answer:

This is less than 85%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pablo spelled 21 words correctly out of 25 words.

We have to find is this number more than 85% or less than 85%.

So we will calculate the percentage of 21 words out of 25 words.

To calculate percentage we divide 21 by 25 and then multiply with 100.

$\frac{21}{25}\times 100$

0.84 × 100
