One out of the three shirts I own is red. What percent of my shirts are not red? Round your final answer to the nearest tenth.
The question is in regards to the amount of non-red shirts. If one of the three shirts is red, then two are not red. We represent this as a fraction:
In order to convert it into a percent, we carry out the division and multiply the result by 100:
We want to round to the nearest tenth, which is the number directly to the right of the decimal point. The number in the next spot over, the hundredths place, is six, so we round the tenths spot up to seven. This gives us a final answer of 66.7%.
