Of the 120 soaps placed in a box, 36 have been used. What is the percentage of soaps left in the box? (in %)
70
70 is correct.
A percentage compares a part with the whole: (part ÷ whole) × 100. Here the whole is the original 120 soaps.
Soaps left in the box \(=120-36=84\).
Share left as a percent of the original 120 soaps \(=\dfrac{84}{120}\times 100=70\%\).
