17 ½ % of 240
First option
Change the fraction ½
to a decimal. It would be 0.5 ( 1 divided by 2)
½=0.5
You will add the whole number 17 to the result.
17 + 05 = 17.5
Now you will divide by 100 (percent)
17.5 /100 To divide a
decimal by 100, move the decimal point two
places to the left.
17.5 /100 = 0.175 times 240
0.175 x 240 = 42
Second option
Change the percent to an improper fraction
17 ½= 35/2 (you have to multiply (2 x 17) plus 1 equals 35
over 2 ( keep the denominator). It will be 35/2. Put the other number (240) over 100 and
multiply.
35/2 x 240/100 = 42
There is another way . You can simplify
Cancel all the zeros that you have and start to reduce.

Step-by-step explanation:
Note that fiona cannot sell decimal number of cupcakes or muffins. That's why the options A and D are false.
Consider all remaining options:
B. 40 cupcakes and 80 muffins will cost $(40·3+80·2)=$(120+160)=$280, but Fiona Follies sold at least $300 worth of cupcakes and muffins. Thus, this option is false.
C. 60 cupcakes and 70 muffins will cost $(60·3+70·2)=$(180+140)=$320. Now consider expenses. $(60·0.75+70·0.5)=$(45+35)=$80. This option is true.
E. 80 cupcakes and 80 muffins will cost $(80·3+80·2)=$(240+160)=$400. Now consider expenses. $(80·0.75+80·0.5)=$(60+40)=$100 (exactly $100). This option is true.
Answer: correct options are C and E.
