Question

At the beach, 14% of people are in the water and 35% are on the sand. If the rest are on the boardwalk, what percentage of people are on the boardwalk

Answer 1

Answer:

51%

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the percentages must add up to 100%, so we can add up how many percent of the people are already accounted for, and subtract that from 100%.

Doing that we get 14%+35%=49% and 100%-49%=51%

Answer 2

Answer:

51%

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 14% and 35% you get 49%

Take that away from 100%
