Question

Glenn bought 3 pounds of tomatoes. He used § of them to make sauce.

Answer 1

Answer: (x%/100%)*3 pounds = M

where x% is the percentage of the 3 pounds of tomatoes that Glenn used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, i guess that there is a missing percentage here.

Suppose that this percentage is x%

such that:

0% ≤ x% ≤  100%

Now, the 3 pounds of tomatoes is the 100%.

Then a mass M will correspond to the amount that he used to make the sauce, the x%.

We have the realtion:

100%*M = x%*3pounds

M = (x%/100%)*3 pounds.
