2c what percentage of the flights in july were on time?
give your answer as a percentage, to one decimal place.
percentage of flights = \\(\frac{148}{148 + 49} \cdot 100\\%\\)
explain
percentage of flights = \\(\frac{148}{148 + 49} \cdot 100\\%\\)
percentage of flights = \\(\frac{148}{148 + 49} \cdot 100\\%\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total number of flights in July

The number of on - time flights is 148 and the number of delayed flights is 49. So the total number of flights in July is \(148 + 49=197\).

Step2: Calculate the percentage of on - time flights

The formula for the percentage of on - time flights is \(\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Number of on - time flights}}{\text{Total number of flights}}\times100\%\). Substituting the values, we have \(\text{Percentage}=\frac{148}{148 + 49}\times100\%=\frac{148}{197}\times100\%\).
First, calculate \(\frac{148}{197}\approx0.751269\). Then multiply by 100%: \(0.751269\times100\% = 75.1269\%\). Rounding to one decimal place, we get \(75.1\%\).

Answer:

\(75.1\%\)
