Approximately 3 out of 25 Americans live in California. About 3 out of 50 live in New York, and about 2 out of 25 live in Texas. About what percentage of Americans do not live in California, New york, or Texas?
26% live in those places; therefore 74% do not.
3/25 + 3/50(or 1.5/25) + 2/25 =6.5/25 =.26 x 100 = 26% live in those 3 States.
1 - 26% = 74% live in the rest of the States.
