Question

Suppose Jamal visits a record store with 788 records. If 264 of the records are from the years 1975 to 1979 and Jamal selects a record at random, what is the probability that the record is from 1975 to 1979? Round your answer to the nearest whole percent

Answer 1

34% because to find the percentage you need to divide the amount in the time, 264, by the total amount of records, 778, and when you do that you get around .335, and convert that to a percentage you multiply it by 100, and you get 33.5%, but then you round it up to 34%.
