To solve this problem, we must divide the number of movies that Jenny thought were very good by the total number of movies she watched. This is because we are finding a percentage, which represents a part out of a whole that have a factor, which in this case is very good movies. First, we begin by dividing 44/55. Then, we realize that both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 11, so if we divided them both by 11 that would simplify the fraction.
44/55 = 44/11 / 55/11 = 4/5
Next, we can now easily divide our simplified fraction.
4/5 = 0.8
Finally, we must multiply by 100, because a percentage is a portion of 100 (the total is 100%). This is equivalent to moving the decimal point two places to the right.
0.8 * 100 = 80%
Therefore, Jenny thinks that 80% of the movies she watched this year were very good.
Hope this helps!
