Question

if there is one million people and 93,000 people have shoes what percent don't have shoes

Answer 1

Hi Tawnie,

To answer your question, we need to first determine how many people don't have shoes. This can be accomplished using subtraction:

1000000 - 93000 = 907000

907000 people don't have shoes.

We can represent those that don't have shoes as a percent of the million people as:

907000 x 100 = 90.7 %

1000000
