Question

Aditya has a total of 25 toy cars and toy bikes out of which 14 are cars. What is the percentage of bikes with him?

• A. 11%
• B. 22%
• C. 33%
• D. 44%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 44%

Total number of toys = 25
Number of cars = 14
$\therefore$ Number of bikes = 11
Fraction of bikes = $\frac{11}{25}$
We need to find the percentage of bikes.
Here, we see that the denominator is not a hundred.
Percentages are numerators of fractions with denominator 100.
Hence, to calculate the percentage, we need to convert this fraction into an equivalent fraction with denominator 100.
$\frac{11}{25}=\frac{11}{25}\times \frac{4}{4}=\frac{44}{100}=44\%$

Hence, the percentage of bikes with Aditya is 44%.
