At shannon's beading boutique, 6 out of the 20 beads on clearance are plastic. what percentage of beads on clearance are plastic?
write your answer using a percent sign (%).

  30%

Step-by-step explanation:

(plastic beads)/(beads on clearance) = 6/20 = 30/100 = 30%

A percentage is a representation of a fraction that has 100 as a denominator. The percent sign (%) is just a shorthand way to write "divided by 100" (/100). The word "percent" means "per hundred", or "divided by 100."

Here, the given fraction (6/20) can be multiplied by 5/5 to make it have a denominator of 100.
