Question

of the 20 highest mountains in the united states 17 are located in alaska what percent of the highest mountains are in alaska

in alaska

not in alaska

Answer 1

When you multiply 20 by 5, you get 100.

If you multiply 17 by 5,  you get 85.

So 85 per cent  of the mountains are in Alaska.

And since 100 minus 85 is 15, therefore 15 per cent of the mountains are not in Alaska.
