The RMS Titanic was a British passenger ship that sank on April 15, 1912 after sinking an iceberg. Of the 2226 people on the ship, 703 people survived and 1523 people died. What is the percentage of the people who survived?



Answer :

Answer:

The percentage of the people who survived = 31.58%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the percentage of the people who survived by using this formula:

[tex]\boxed{percentage\ of\ x=\frac{x}{total\ amount} \times 100\%}[/tex]

Given:

  • [tex]x[/tex] = 703 people
  • [tex]total\ amount[/tex] = 2226 people

Then

[tex]\displaystyle percentage\ of\ survived\ people=\frac{703}{2226} \times 100\%[/tex]

                                                 [tex]=\bf 31.58\%[/tex]
