Rebecca is decorating the office for Christmas and is sorting out the decorations.
There are 200 baubles in a box.
38 baubles are blue.
52 baubles are red.
The rest of the baubles are silver or gold.
There are the same number of silver baubles as gold baubles.
What percentage of the baubles in the box are silver?
Answer:
38 + 52 = 90
200 – 90 = 110
110/2 = 55 = number of silver baubles
55/200 = 27.5%
