Answer:
Percent of the crayons were not broken = 99 %
Step-by-step explanation:
At the end of the first school day, Mr. Davies, a first grade teacher, inspected his classroom crayons. 2 of the 200 crayons were broken.
Total number of crayons = 200
Number of crayons broken = 2
Number of crayons not broken = 200 - 2 = 198
We need to find what percent of the crayons were not broken
[tex]\texttt{Percent of the crayons were not broken=}\frac{\texttt{Number of crayons not broken}}{\texttt{Total number of crayons}}\times 100\\\\\texttt{Percent of the crayons were not broken=}\frac{198}{200}\times 100\\\\\texttt{Percent of the crayons were not broken=}\frac{198}{2}=99\%[/tex]
Percent of the crayons were not broken = 99 %
