Maths

 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.
