Today For Maths our problem was:
Miriama is making 'ei katu. 25% of the 'ei katu has pink flowers, 1/5 of it has yellow flowers, 10% of it is white flowers and the rest of the 'ei katu is made up of leaves.
What Percentage or fractions of the 'ei katu are going to be leaves?
How I solved it =
25% = Pink Flowers
1/5 = Yellow Flowers
10% = White Flowers
So first I needed to find out the percentage of 1/5 so I drew a circle, halved it in fives and I got 20% Because in Percentage there is always 100% and 5x20 = 100 so 1/5 in percentage is 20%.
Then I added it all up: 25% + 20% + 10% = 55% then I did 100% - 55% = 45% So 45% of the ei Katu will be leaves.
