Question

During the summer Austin sells tomatoes at his family's produce stand . Every morning he starts with 150 tomatoes on. Sunday Austin sells 45 of the 150 tomatoes. He wants to know what percent of the tomatoes he sold.

Answer 1

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Every morning he starts with 150 tomatoes.

On Sunday Austin sells 45 of the 150 tomatoes.

Question asked:

What percent of the tomatoes he sold ?

Solution:

As Austin sells 45 tomatoes out of 150 tomatoes, we will find percent of the tomatoes he sold by using :

Percent of the tomatoes he sold = Number of tomatoes he sold divided by total number of tomatoes he starts with.

$Percentage =\frac{45}{150} \times100$

                  $=\frac{4500}{150} \\ = 30$

Therefore, 30% of the tomatoes he sold on Sunday.
