Question

mr. martinez has 3 ice chests. he is placing 14 lunches in each ice chest. each lunch contains a sandwich, a bag of chips, and a drink. about 55% of these lunches contain a ham sandwich. which of the following is closest to the number of lunches that contain a ham sandwich?

Answer 1

 multiply 14× 3 which give you 42
 42× the percent of the lunches which is 55% gives you 23.1
 there are approximately 23 lunches that contain a ham sandwich √

Answer 2

First, let's find the number of lunches:
14*3 = 42
To find how many lunches have ham sandwiches, we multiply the total number of sandwiches by the percentage of the ham sandwiches:
0.55 * 42
Multiply:
23.1
We can round down:
There are about 23 lunches with ham sandwiches
