Of the 50 U.S. states, 4 have names that start with the letter W.

What percentage of U.S. states have names that start with the letter W?

Verified Answer :

In oder to count the percentage you have to divide the number of instances over the number of possible instances and multiply by 100% (100 % is also 1).

4/50100%= 2/25100%=2*4%=8 %.

So the answer is 8 %.

ratio and proportion
4/50=x/100
cross multiply
50x= 400
divide by 50

x= 8% of the states begin with the letter W
