Javier designed a mosaic wall mural using 100 tiles in 3 different colors: yellow, blue, and red. If 64 of the tiles are yellow, what percent of the tiles are either red or blue?
To find the number of tiles that are either red or blue, count the red and blue squares. Or subtract the number of yellow squares, 64, from the total number of squares, 100.
36 out of 100 tiles are red or blue.
The ratio of red or blue tiles to all tiles is \(\cfrac{36}{100}\).
So, the percent of the tiles that are either red or blue is 36%.
Write another problem involving a percent that can be solved by using the mosaic wall mural.
