Question

Olivia wants to walk 8000 steps today. She walked 45% of this total before lunch. How many steps did Olivia walk before lunch?

Answer 1

Answer: Olivia walked 3600 steps before lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Olivia wants to walk 8000 steps.

Hence, the total number of steps =8000

Since, she walked 45% of this total before lunch.

Now, 45%=0.45   [Since 1 %=0.01]

Then 45% of 8000 steps=$0.45\times8000\ steps$

$=45\times80\ steps\\=3600\ steps$

Therefore, Olivia walked 3600 steps before lunch.

Answer 2

It would be: 8000 * 45%
= 8000 * 0.45
= 3600

In short, Your Answer would be 3600 steps

Hope this helps!
