Question

Sullivan has been scarer of the month 11 times in a row. What percentage of a year has Sullivan been Scarer of the Month?

Answer 1

well, today is Halloween in the US, so let's hope Sullivan is in his best costume.

so he's won that contest 11 times, namely each month for 11 months, there are 12 months in a year.

if we take 12 to be the 100%, what is 11 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 12&100\\ 11&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{12}{11}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 12x=1100 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1100}{12}\implies x=91.\overline{6}$

Answer 2

Maybe 91% percentage of a year has Sullivan been Scarer of the Month
