There were 6954 cases filed with the Supreme Court. Of these only 82 were decided by the Supreme Court. What percentage was decided by the Supreme Court

Total no. of cases = 6954

No. of cases decided = 82

Percentage decided = (82/6954)x100 = 1.17%

(cases decided / cases filed) *100

There were 82 cases decided by the Supreme Court, out of a total of 6,954 cases filed.

(82/6954) *100

0.0117917745* 100

Multiply

1.17917745 %
