1. List the ten provinces: You'll need a list of the provinces you're referring to. Let's assume you're talking about the Canadian provinces:
* Newfoundland and Labrador
* Prince Edward Island
* Nova Scotia
* New Brunswick
* Quebec
* Ontario
* Manitoba
* Saskatchewan
* Alberta
* British Columbia
2. Count the provinces starting with consonants: Let's count:
* Newfoundland and Labrador (N)
* Prince Edward Island (P)
* Nova Scotia (N)
* New Brunswick (N)
* Quebec (Q)
* Ontario (O)
* Manitoba (M)
* Saskatchewan (S)
* Alberta (A)
* British Columbia (B)
There are 10 provinces starting with consonants.
3. Calculate the percentage:
* (Number of consonant-starting provinces / Total number of provinces) * 100%
* (10 / 10) * 100% = 100%
Answer: 100% of the ten provinces begin with a consonant.
