At a local hospital, 35 babies were born. if 26 were boys, what percentage of the newborns were boys?

Remember to divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply it by 100. 

So 26 divided by 35 is 0.7428                                                                           Since the number doesn't end, you round it to the nearest tenth, which is 0.7.                                                                                                                                    Now you multiply that number by 100. And the percentage would be... 70% of the babies would be boys.
