**Question:**
50 out of 200 people left the party early. What percentage of people left the party early?
**Instructions:**
- Show your work in the space provided.
**Visual Elements:**
- There are two cartoon characters framing the problem:
- One in the top-right corner resembles a quirky creature with a square shape.
- Another in the bottom-right corner looks like a small creature with a wavy head and standing posture.
**Solution Guide:**
1. To find the percentage of people who left the party early, use the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of people who left early}}{\text{Total number of people}}\right) \times 100
\]
2. Plug in the numbers:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{50}{200}\right) \times 100
\]
3. Calculate the fraction:
\[
\frac{50}{200} = 0.25
\]
4. Multiply by 100 to convert the fraction to a percentage:
\[
0.25 \times 100 = 25\%
\]
5. Therefore, 25% of people left the party early.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb86f9980-0a77-47d5-9ce6-462a7f173341%2Ff46cc768-6d7a-447d-82d3-ed49e4093c83%2Fxp2mfze_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
