Question

Trey has completed 36 deliveries so far this week. He needs to make 80 deliveries for the week. What percentage of deliveries has trey completed?

Answer 1

The fraction of completed deliveries is

$\dfrac{36}{80}=0.45$

We want to express 0.45 as a fraction with denominator 100:

$0.45=\dfrac{x}{100}\iff x=0.45\cdot 100=45$

So, 45% of the work has been done so far.
