Total houses built = 50, total houses sold = 38.

38 sold----divided by 50 total = 0.76 or 76% - Sold houses.
12 unsold divided by 50 total = 0.24 or 24% -Unsold houses.

or

50 Houses built = 100% , 38 Houses sold.

100 %
________ = ( 2 )

50 houses

( 2 ) x 38 sold houses = 76
Percentage of sold houses = 76 %.

Percent means how many out of a hundred. Here we have 38 out of 50 -- how many is that out of 100? Looks like 76 to me, so 76 percent are sold.

The general rule is to divide the part you're talking about by the total number. Then you can change that decimal into a percent by moving the decimal point two places to the right. 38/50 is .76, or 76 percent.

the 1st step is to jot down 13. as a fragment of 25., this is merely 13/25 Now we'd desire to multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction with the aid of one million to do away with the decimals : 13/25 = 13/25 x one million/one million = 13/25 Now we merely might desire to transform this fraction to a proportion : 13/25 = fifty two% So we've the merely suitable answer : 13. is fifty two% of 25. answer is:B fifty two%
