Question

The drama club needs to sell 50 tickets to the school play. So far, they have sold 8 tickets. What percent of their target have they sold? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer: 16%

Method:
To get a percent ( out of 100 ) - make it a fraction.

8/50 then multiply it by 2 = 16/100

16/100 as a percentage is 16%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of their target that was sold, we will have to divide the number of tickets sold by the number of tickets that needs to be sold.

So, we will divide 8 by 50.

8 ÷ 50 = 0.16

Now, we will multiply 0.16 by 100 to get the percent.

0.16 * 100 = 16

So, the drama club sold 16% of their target.
