Raenna was asked to create a circle graph for the number of birds counted outside her office. Raenna must first find the percent of each type of bird. If there was a total of 20 birds counted and 4 of them were blue jays, what percentage of birds were blue jays?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of blue jays, divide the number of blue jays (4) by the total number of birds counted (20) and then multiply by 100.

(4 / 20) * 100 = 0.2 * 100 = 20%

Therefore, 20% of the birds counted were blue jays.
