WikiTongues has videos of 500 different
languages from around the
world. What percent of the
7,111 total languages
spoken globally
is represented on
WikiTongues?

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that 500 languages is a certain percent of the 7,111 total languages. When working with percent equations, the word "is" means "equals", and "of" usually means "multiplied by" This means that 500 is equal to a certain percent multiplied by 7,111. We can use p to represent this certain percent and create an equation below.

500=7,111p

Let's flip the equation around so the p is on the left side. Variables are usually supposed to be on the left.

7,111p=500

We divide both sides by 7,111.

p=0.0703

As a percent, this is about 7.03%. Therefore, about 7.03% of the total languages spoken globally are represented on WikiTongues.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
