Emanuel · Answer 1

A percentage is just a fancy version of a percentage, a percentage is always out of 100 remember, so 24% would be equal to 24/100

we aren't done because we have to simplify

24/100, divide both sides by 2

12/50

again divide by 2

6/25

you can not simplify anymore so we can conclude that the US uses 6/25 of the world's energy
