92.3%
There are 4 Kings in a single deck. This means that there are 48 cards that aren't kings. It is difficult to find the percentage using 48/52, so we simplify it down to 12/13.
The proportion is now 12/13=x/100. Multiply 100 by 12, then divide by 13. Your answer is 92.3%.

Well, if you're finding the probablilty of not getting a king, you first have to know how many cards are left.
Since there are 4 kings, subtract 4 from 52 (total number of cards), and you get 48.
Now to find the probability of not getting a king, you divide 48 (number of carfds that aren't kings) by 52 (total number of cards) and if you reduce 48/52 you get 12/13 which is .923 or percentage wise 92.3%.
Hope this helps

There are 4 kings, so 52 - 4 = 48 ways to NOT get a king.
Probability would be 48/52 = .923
