Answer 1

Maya is cleaning out her closet and is shocked when she realizes that she has 55 shirts. She decides to donate 40% of them. How many more shirts does she have for her ?

Answer:

The number of T-shirt that Maya will have after donating 40% is 22 shirts

Explanation:

Given:( as per the above data provided)

Total number of T-shirts = 55

Percentage of T-shirts she wish to donate = 40%

To find:

Remaining number of T-shirt left after donating?

Formula to be used:

Remaining T shirt = (Total number of T-shirt /100) X The Percentage of T-shirt she wish to donate

Steps:

Substituting all the above provided values in the formula we get,

              = (55/100)*40

              = 22 shirts.

Thus the number of T-shirts left with her is 22.
