To find the percentage of the patents that were accepted, we need to divide the number of accepted patents by the number of total applications and then multiply by 100.
Accepted patents percentage = (Accepted patents / Total patents) * 100
Accepted patents percentage = (325,979 / 629,647) * 100
Accepted patents percentage ≈ 0.5177 * 100 ≈ 51.8%
Therefore, approximately 51.8% of the patents were accepted.
In 2015, 629,647 patents were applied for, and 325,979 of them were accepted. To the nearest tenth of a percent, what percentage of the patents were accepted?
