Answer:
[tex]\%Percent = 70\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Represent Small Apartments with S and the Regular ones with R
[tex]S:R = 14:6[/tex]
Required
Determine the percentage of small buildings
This is calculated as thus:
[tex]\%Percent = \frac{S}{S + R} * 100\%[/tex]
Substitute values for S and R
[tex]\%Percent = \frac{14}{14 + 6} * 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Percent = \frac{14}{20} * 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Percent = \frac{14* 100\%}{20}[/tex]
[tex]\%Percent = \frac{1400\%}{20}[/tex]
[tex]\%Percent = 70\%[/tex]
Hence, the percentage if the small apartments is 70%
Note that if we're to calculate the percentage of the regular ones, the formula would have been:
[tex]\%Percent = \frac{R}{S + R} * 100\%[/tex]
