The problem as stated:
Given - 2 states are NOT continental.
Given - there are 50 states.
Find - % of states that ARE continental.
50 = Total states
-02 = Non-continental states
---
48 = Continental states
48 of 50 states are continental.
48 / 50 (expressed as a fraction)
48/50 = x/100 (setting up the equation)
48*100 = 50*x (by cross multiplication.)
4800/50 = x (divide both sides by 50)
96 = x (solving the equation)
48/50 = 96/100 (substituting for x)
96/100 = 96% (fraction written as a percentage)
This may be, according to popular but incorrect usage. Alaska is on the same continent as 48 other states and is therefore part of the Continental US.
