Question

Big Nicks moving company unloaded 72 % of the 300 boxes they delivered in 30 minutes. How many boxes did they unload each minute?

Answer 1

72 % of 300 is 216

Divide 216 ( # of boxes unloaded ) by 30 (minutes they were unloading)
216 / 30 = 7.2

They unloaded 7.2 boxes each minute.

**DOUBLE CHECK:
Multiply 7.2 by 30
7.2*30 = 216

Answer : 7.2 boxes/minute
