Question

Twelve thousand people played a lottery game. Eighteen people won some money on the game. What percent of the players won money on this game?

Answer 1

0.15% of the players won the game.

Explanation:

To find percentage, you use the formula `p` `o` `r` `t` `i` `o` `n` `/` `w` `h` `o` `l` `e` `xx 100`.

In your case, the portion is 18 and the whole is 12,000.

Input these values into the formula so that `18/(12,000) xx 100`.

When calculated this equals `3/20`% or 0.15%
