Respuesta :

90% of the paperclips were not used.

Answer:

90% of paperclips did not get used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your office manager used 45 paperclips for handouts at his presentation from the 450 paperclips available in the stock room.

We have to calculate the percentage of the original number of paperclips did not get used.

number of paperclips did not get used = 450 - 45 = 405

the percentage of 405 out of 450 = [tex]\frac{405}{450}[/tex] × 100

                                                         =  0.9 × 100

                                                         = 90%

Therefore, 90% of paperclips did not get used.
