The football team has a total of 20 jerseys. There are 14 ​medium-sized jerseys. What percent of the jerseys are​ medium-sized jerseys?

Question

  
__​% are​ medium-sized jerseys.
(type a whole number)

Answer 1

To find the percentage of medium-sized jerseys, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of medium-sized jerseys}}{\text{Total number of jerseys}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case:

• Number of medium-sized jerseys = 14
• Total number of jerseys = 20

Now, plug in the values:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{14}{20} \right) \times 100 \]

\[ \text{Percentage} = 0.7 \times 100 = 70 \]

Thus, 70% of the jerseys are medium-sized jerseys.
