Question

Jennifer is making a cold cut platter using turkey and ham for an event that she is catering. She uses 90 slices of meat. If 63 of the slices of meat are turkey, what percent of the meat on the platter are ham? ALSO, PLEASE EXPLAIN. Thanks! :)

Answer 1

Answer:

30% of the meat on the platter is ham.

Step-by-step explanation:

90 slices = 100%

10% = 9 slices

90 - 63 = 27 slices (this is the amount of ham)

10% x 3 = 30% = 27 slices of ham

Answer 2

Answer:

27 slices of ham which is about 30% of the meat.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have given

no. of slices of meat=90

no of slices of turkey's meat=63

Percent of ham in platter=?

No of ham slices= Total slices -turkey slices

=90 - 63

= 27 slices

therefore no of ham slices=27

percent of ham slices=Ham slicesx100/total slices

=27x100/90%

=30%

Therefore  percent of ham's in patter=30%
