Thank you Ms. Sue
You're welcome.
To find the percentage of states that will have a Spanish-speaking majority in 2025, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of states with a Spanish-speaking majority to the total number of states and then multiply it by 100.
According to the question, it is estimated that 20 out of the 50 states will have a Spanish-speaking majority in 2025.
To find the percentage, we divide 20 (the number of states with a Spanish-speaking majority) by 50 (the total number of states) and then multiply by 100:
(20 / 50) * 100 = 0.4 * 100 = 40
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 40%.
