In a certain boy's camp, 30% of the boys are from New York State and 20% of these are from New York City.What percent of the boys in the camp are from New York City?
a. 60%
b. 50%
c. 33%
d. 10%
e. 6%
please answer and explain
New York City is in New York, so the boys who live in NYC are also living in NY State. This means that 20% of the 30% New Yorkers are NYCians. .2*.3 = .06, so the answer is "e. 6%".
B = # of boys in camp.
0.3B = # of boys from N.Y.S.
0.2 * 0.3B = 0.06B=# of boys from N.Y.C.
(0.06B/B)*100% = 6% = Percentage of
boys in camp from N.Y.C.
Well, if we take into account that 30% of the boys are from New York State and 20% of these are from New York City, we can do some calculations.
If we assume that there are 100 boys in the camp, then 30% of them are from New York State, which is 30 boys.
And if 20% of these are from New York City, that means there are 20% of 30 boys, which is 6 boys from New York City.
Since we had assumed 100 boys in the camp, and we found that 6 of them are from New York City, the percentage of boys in the camp from New York City is 6%.
So, the answer is e. 6%.
But hey, don't worry, they won't be clowning around all the time in the camp!
To find the percentage of boys in the camp who are from New York City, we need to find the intersection of two percentages: the percentage of boys from New York State and the percentage of boys from New York City within that group.
Given that 30% of the boys are from New York State, and 20% of these are from New York City, we can calculate the percentage of boys from New York City by multiplying these two percentages:
Percentage of boys from New York City = (30% * 20%) = (30/100 * 20/100) = 6/100 = 6%
Therefore, the correct answer is e. 6%.
To answer this question, we need to follow a step-by-step approach.
Step 1: Calculate the percentage of boys from New York State.
Given that 30% of the boys are from New York State, we can say that 30% of the total number of boys in the camp are from New York State.
Step 2: Calculate the percentage of boys from New York City within the group from New York State.
Given that 20% of the boys from New York State are from New York City, we can say that 20% of the boys from New York State are from New York City.
Step 3: Calculate the overall percentage of boys from New York City in the camp.
To find the percentage of boys from New York City among all the boys in the camp, we need to calculate 20% of 30% to get the final answer.
Now, let's calculate the percentages.
Step 1: 30% of total boys are from New York State.
Step 2: 20% of the boys from New York State are from New York City.
Step 3: Calculate the overall percentage of boys from New York City: 20% * 30% = 6%.
Therefore, the answer is option e. 6%.
Explanation: Out of all the boys in the camp, only 6% are from New York City.
