Answer 1

Hi there! 80% of 115 customers had combos. To find out the amount that had combos, we multiply the amount of customers by percentage. 115 * 80% (0.8) is 92. 92 customers had combo meals. 3/4 of them had fries with it, and 3/4 is 75% in percent form. We multiply 92 by 75% to get the amount that had fries. 92 * 75% (0.75) is 69. There. Sally's Diner had 69 of Friday's customers order fries with their combo meals. The answer is A: 69.
