Question

A store stocked 150 cans of popcorn for a win sale that weekend 72 cans sold what percent of the cans of popcorn stocked were sold that weekend

Answer 1

Answer:

72/150= 0.48 = 48%

Answer 2

Answer:

48% of cans were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

We must calculate the percentage of cans of popcorn sold during the weekend.

To calculate the percentage we use the following equation

$\%Sold =\frac{X_s}{Xt}*100\%$

Where:

$X_s$ is the amount of cans sold

$X_t$ is the total amount of cans (those that were sold and those that were not sold)

In this case:

$X_s=72$ and $X_t=150$

Then:

$\%Sold =\frac{72}{150}*100\%$

$\%Sold =48\%$
