Question

During March Manas 64 teams make compete for National Championship. The top 16 teams are referred to as the ‘Sweet 16’. What percent of the 64 teams make it to the top sweet 16

Answer 1

Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this, find the percent 16 is of 64.

A formula used to solve these types of problems is this: part/whole = x/100

Replace the values in the formula with the ones in the problem: 16/64 = x/100

Cross-multiply: 64(x) = 16(100); 64x = 1600

Isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 64: x = 25

x = the percentage, so the answer is 25%.
