Answer 6

lol okay, total number of kernels = 126 + 38 = 164
number of kernels popped = 126

you need to find out what percent of 164 is 126

Answer 7

ok thx

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

here is how to find it :-

\(\large \frac{126}{164} \times 100 \)

Answer 11

76.82926829

Answer 12

is tht correct

Answer 13

@ganeshie8 COME BACK

Answer 14

My guess it to take 100 and subtract 76.82926829 from it to get your full answer of how many didn't pop

Answer 15

76.8 % of kernels popped

(100-76.8) % of kernels didnt pop

Answer 16

but, the question is asking for % of kernels popped
so answer wud be 76.8%
