help with a maths question please?

Question

Can I have some help with this maths question as I am hopeless at maths and I can't find a good web site that explains it.

If I have sent out 50 questionnaires, and 30 came back, what would be my response rate in %.

Now either this question is extremley simple, or it doesn't make sense

Either way I would be extremly grateful for some help, cheers

no smart ar*e answers please as it is an easy 10 points at the end of the day

Answer 1

Ok. Start with 30/50. That really means 30 divided by 50. You can get rid of both 0's to make things simpler. Then go 3 divided by 5. You should end up with .6 which = .60 which = 60% Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

If I have sent out 50 questionnaires, and 30 came back, what would be my response rate in %

They are saying that 30 people responded out of 50 who were asked to.

30 out of 50 can be written as 30/50
to change to per cent (which means per hundred), set up a ratio like this : 30/50 = x/100
Simplify by cross multiplying : 50x=3000 , so x = 60%

Answer 3

30/50 = 60/100 = 60%

A percentage is a fraction of 100.
Or, divide your results into a decimal number and multiply by 100 to find the value as a percentage:

30/50 = 0.6

0.6 * 100 = 60%

You can search Y!A if you like - there are quite a few questions and answers about percentages that have been answered in the past.

Answer 4

% means "per 100" thus:-
30/50 = 60/100 = 60%
Another way to look at it is to say that you scored 30 out of 50 in a test.If this was the case you would expect to score 60/100 ie 60%
Similarly 15/20 = 75/100 = 75%

Answer 5

OK 30 out of 50 came back

put this in fraction form (ratio)

30/50

divide

30/50 = .6

change into percent by moving the decimal place 2 spaces to right = 60

answer is 60%


hope this helped!!

Answer 6

60%.. that's 3/5 x 100 cause 30/50 is 3/5 and 30/50 got answered.

Answer 7

(The last sentence is the answer, all else is just the explanation)
A percentage is a fraction over a hundred.(5/100= 5%) and because the ration in the problem is 30/50 and 50X2 is 100 and (30X2)/(50X2)=30/50=.6
The answer is 60/100 or 60%

Answer 8

the answer is 60% 30/50=.60
