Question: 508

2. Bob’s iPod contains 800 songs. If 240 songs are either jazz or rap songs, what percent of his collection is jazz or rap?

  • A. 12%
  • B. 15%
  • C. 20%
  • D. 25%

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

E is correct. To calculate the percent, divide the number of jazz and rap songs by the total number of songs. 240 ÷ 800 = 0.30. To change that to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right and add the percent sign to get the correct answer of 30%.
