Question

There are 99 males and 121 females participating in a marathon. What percent of the participants are female?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of females, divide the number of female participants by the total number of participants and multiply by 100.

Percent of females = (number of females / total number of participants) * 100

Percent of females = (121 / (99 + 121)) * 100

Percent of females = (121 / 220) * 100

Percent of females ≈ 55.00%

Therefore, approximately 55.00% of the participants are female.
