Answer 1

The question is asking you what percentage of the building is left to build.

 

To calculate percentage left, you can use the following equation:

 

floors left to build / total floors

 

Since we know the builder has 10 floors left to build, and we know there are 25 total floors, we can plug these numbers in:

 

% left = 10/25 = 0.4

 

Therefore, the builder has 40% left to build
