Joey has 8 pairs of socks in his drawer 5 of them are white. what percent of colored socks does joey have

Hey there! :D

We usually don’t count white socks as colored, so keep that in mind for the problem.

There are 5 pairs of white socks.

8-5=3

There are 3 pairs of colored socks.

3/8= fraction of colored over the whole amount.

Make 3/8 into a decimal. (Divide 3 by 8)

3/8= .375

Now, we just have to make that into a percentage.

.375= 37.5%

37.5% of the socks were colored.

I hope this helps!
