Respuesta :

20 % are the math apps in total number of apps

Solution:

Maya downloaded some math and science apps from Google Play

The number of math apps is 25% of the number of science apps

Let "x" be the number of science apps

Then, we get,

Number of math apps = 25 % of number of science apps

Number of math apps = 25 % of x

[tex]\text{Number of math apps } = \frac{25}{100} \times x[/tex]

Number of math apps = 0.25x

What percent are the math apps to the total number of apps?

Total number of apps = x + 0.25x = 1.25x

Math apps = 0.25x

We have to find the percent of math apps in total number of apps

[tex]\text{ percent of math apps} = \frac{\text{Math app}}{\text{total number of apps}} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{ percent of math apps} = \frac{0.25x}{1.25x} \times 100\\\\\text{ percent of math apps} = 0.2 \times 100\\\\\text{ percent of math apps} = 20[/tex]

Thus 20 % are the math apps in total number of apps

75% right?

I think so..
