The answer is 39% because a trick to solving the conversion of fraction to percent is use this formula: denominator÷numerator=percent, so when you do that you should get 38.888%(inf), the nearest percent should be 39

The probability that a randomly selected apartment has a balcony is 39%.

Important information:

Apartments have a balcony = 35

Apartments do not have a balcony = 55

We need to find the probability that a randomly selected apartment has a balcony.

Probability:

Total number of apartments is:

\(35+55=90\)

Now, the probability (in percent) that a randomly selected apartment has a balcony is:

\(P=\dfrac{\text{Apartments have a balcony}}{\text{Total number of apartments}}\times 100\%\)

\(P=\dfrac{35}{90}\times 100\%\)

\(P=38.8889\%\)

\(P\approx 39\%\)

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected apartment has a balcony is 39%.
