Respuesta :

The definition of a percent, according to google.com, is "one part in every hundred".
So 4 trombones out of 25 instruments would represent the same rate as:
16 trombones out of 100 instruments (multiplying both by 4)
Which means, that 16 parts in every hundred instruments in the lander town band would be trombones. Hence, 16% is the answer.

Fraction of the instruments that are trombones is [tex]\frac{4}{25}[/tex]

Percent of the instruments that are trombones is [tex]16\%[/tex]

A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts.

A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of [tex]100[/tex]

Number of trombones [tex]=4[/tex]

Number of instruments [tex]=25[/tex]

Fraction of the instruments that are trombones [tex]=\frac{4}{25}[/tex]

Percent of the instruments that are trombones [tex]=\frac{4}{25}\times 100[/tex]

                                                                              [tex]=16\%[/tex]
